This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right femoral artery, percutaneous 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 04CK3ZZ

UNSPSC 85515860 Extirpation of matter from right femoral artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code is assigned to a specific surgical procedure, but the state and local contract opportunities tagged to it encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit program administration, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve percutaneous arterial intervention. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to administrative and programmatic health services rather than clinical procedure delivery.

The recent opportunities reflect what state and local health buyers actually are purchasing: occupational health examinations and medical record management services (Washington State Department of Transportation, City of Phoenix), specialty surgical networks and Centers of Excellence administration (City of Long Beach), pharmacy benefit administration (Collier County), temporary ancillary clinical staffing (County of Santa Clara), emergency and specialty inpatient care for youth in detention (Harris County), and independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations. Issuing bodies span state departments, county health systems and commissioners, city retirement offices, and county juvenile justice agencies across Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida. No procurements under this code involve the arterial procedure named in the UNSPSC definition.
