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 0KBC4ZZ

UNSPSC 85653726 Excision of right hand muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out management, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve excision of hand muscle tissue or surgical procedures aligned with the code's title. This represents a systematic mismatch between the code assignment and the services being purchased, indicating either miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the UNSPSC taxonomy entry itself does not align with how jurisdictions are tagging health services work.

The recent solicitations show activity across state health departments, county health systems and human resources divisions, city retirement offices, and specialized public safety pension boards. The Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension disability medical evaluations), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit center-of-excellence management), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth) represent the issuing bodies. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with activity concentrated among mid-to-large counties and state-level health or transportation agencies. With no meaningful alignment between the code's stated scope and the work actually being purchased, vendors pursuing opportunities in occupational medicine, pension disability evaluation, health benefits management, or clinical staffing should flag this code as systematically miscoded and verify the actual service category before investing RFP response resources.
