These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 02.

UNSPSC 85495000 Ventricular assistance heart transplantation, open approach is a Class code that in state and local procurement practice covers comprehensive medical and healthcare administration services—including medical intake and chronic care management for correctional facilities, pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for mental health workers, and emergency medical services medical direction. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county corrections departments, county health and human services agencies, county boards of commissioners managing employee benefits, and municipal fire departments. The scope reflects how state and local governments outsource clinical operations, health plan administration, and specialized medical oversight rather than the narrow cardiac-surgery meaning of the code's name.
