UNSPSC 85516168: Occlusion of right anterior tibial artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right anterior tibial artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic 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 04LP4CZ

UNSPSC 85516168, Occlusion of right anterior tibial artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code showing no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a vascular surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which are vascular surgical procedures or devices. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for health services procurement unrelated to the code's actual scope.

The issuing bodies across the six records span city retirement offices, municipal procurement departments, state departments of transportation, county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and county commissioners' offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Because the opportunities are not substantively related to the code's stated scope, this code should be monitored for correction or reclassification rather than pursued based on current tagging.
