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 0BBS4ZZ

UNSPSC 85573843 (Excision of left diaphragm, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The UNSPSC category name describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefits for public employees and retirees. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope (a particular surgical intervention) and actual procurement use by state and local bodies.

Recent opportunities have been posted by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance across ferry system locations), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits for employee health plans), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary health professional staffing), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth), and others across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. The issuing bodies are primarily county and city government agencies, health systems, and special-purpose districts managing employee benefits and occupational health programs. Because the code's nominal definition does not align with the categories of work state and local governments are actually buying under it, the code offers little reliable signal for business development planning in medical procedure supply or specialty surgery.
