This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass coronary artery, four or more sites from coronary artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 213093

UNSPSC 85491329 Bypass coronary artery, four or more sites from coronary artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve coronary artery bypass grafting or operative cardiac intervention. The mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding of health-care services opportunities or use of clinical procedure codes as administrative placeholders in state and local procurement systems rather than as descriptors of actual purchased services.

State and local buyers tagging opportunities to this code include the Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries occupational health), the City of Phoenix (pension board disability evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure networks), Collier County (pharmacy management), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention medical services), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary clinical staffing). The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. No recent solicitation in the source material actually procures coronary bypass surgery or related cardiac operative services; accordingly, this code warrants a skip unless your firm is bidding health-plan administrative or clinical staffing services and intends to monitor whether procurement offices eventually retag such opportunities under more appropriate UNSPSC categories.
