UNSPSC 85581300 Mouth alimentary cavity face throat neck, natural or artificial opening is a Class code under which state and local governments procure medical evaluation, surveillance, and specialty healthcare services focused on occupational health, disability determinations, and acute medical care delivery. The scope of work includes occupational medical surveillance for hazardous-duty workers, disability-related medical record review and independent medical examinations for public safety retirement systems, specialty and emergency medical services for detained populations, and surgical procedure carve-out networks for government employee health plans.
