UNSPSC 85562254: Insertion of bone conduction 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 bone conduction 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 09HE44Z

UNSPSC 85562254 Insertion of bone conduction hearing device into left inner ear, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, pharmacy benefit management for Collier County employees, virtual primary and urgent care services for Monroe County, peer support services for San Mateo County behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services for Santa Monica—do not involve bone conduction hearing devices or the insertion procedures the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or upstream taxonomy-mapping errors that have routed medical services and healthcare administration opportunities into a Commodity code designating a specific surgical implant procedure.

State and local procurement databases appear to treat this code as a catch-all for broader healthcare service provisioning rather than for the procurement of bone conduction hearing devices or related otologic implant services. No issuing body among the recent-opportunity sample has solicited for hearing devices, audiology equipment, or surgical implant procurement. Until evidence emerges of actual state and local solicitations for bone conduction hearing device insertion services—whether as durable medical equipment procurement, employee health plan covered services, or correctional health program components—this code should be treated as a low-signal category for business development targeting healthcare delivery or medical device vendors. Monitor for corrections to the upstream taxonomy mapping or for health plan RFPs that explicitly itemize hearing device coverage and implant-procedure management.
