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 0FB44ZZ

UNSPSC 85611839 Excision of gallbladder, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not involve gallbladder surgery or related clinical procedures. Instead, the opportunities reflect a mismatch: they solicit comprehensive health care management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary care, peer support services, and medical directorship for fire departments — none of which align with the code's procedural scope. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code incorrectly to broad healthcare contracting when the code's actual intent is a discrete surgical intervention.

The recent opportunities posted under this code span Georgia, Florida, and California, issued by a county consolidated government (Columbus, Georgia), two Florida county boards of commissioners (Collier and Monroe counties), a California county health department (San Mateo), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica). No recent opportunities actually solicit gallbladder excision services or related clinical procedures. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the healthcare management and administrative services that are being procured, this code does not signal meaningful procurement activity for vendors offering surgical services or related clinical products. Business development professionals should treat the code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and rely on other codes that map directly to health plan administration, correctional healthcare, virtual care, or medical direction services.
