UNSPSC 85673018: Excision of left upper extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left upper extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach. 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 0MBB3ZZ

UNSPSC 85673018, Excision of left upper extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities tagged under it involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which constitute or directly relate to orthopedic surgical intervention. State and local procurement offices appear to have misclassified these opportunities within the UNSPSC taxonomy rather than using a code reflecting medical services administration, benefits management, or healthcare staffing.

No relevant state and local contract opportunities exist under this code's intended scope. Buyers pursuing orthopedic or upper extremity surgical services should verify UNSPSC coding against recent RFPs from state departments of health, county health systems, municipal hospitals, and Medicaid-managed-care authorities; the current tagging of unrelated healthcare administration and staffing services under this Commodity code suggests the category is not actively used for its nominal purpose in state and local procurement markets.
