UNSPSC 85562251: Insertion of hearing device into left inner ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of hearing device into left inner ear, 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 09HE4SZ

UNSPSC 85562251, Insertion of hearing device into left inner ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure involving implantation of a hearing device, but the recent opportunities posted under this code are entirely unrelated to otologic or auditory device insertion—they span inmate medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these opportunities with this code in error, as none of the solicitations involve hearing device insertion, implantable auditory hardware, or related surgical services. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the underlying procurement system or a misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how some state and local issuing bodies categorize health services contracts.

No state or local opportunities for hearing device insertion services appear in the recent posting activity. The code does not reflect current state and local procurement demand and should not be pursued based on the available evidence.
