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 0H9EX0Z

UNSPSC 85631536 Drainage of left lower arm skin with drainage device, external approach (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the specific drainage procedure named in the code definition. State and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities with this medical device/procedure code in error or as a broad classification that does not map to the code's narrow clinical scope.

The geographic spread of the mislabeled opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation ferries system), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, city human resources departments, county health systems, a state transportation agency, and a county juvenile probation department. Without recent opportunities that genuinely correspond to the drainage-device code's scope, this Commodity code shows no actionable procurement activity for vendors supplying or performing the specific procedure it names.
