UNSPSC 85704417: Excision of left femoral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left femoral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0QB94ZZ

UNSPSC 85704417 Excision of left femoral shaft, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code—independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—bear no relationship to orthopedic surgical procedure coding. State and local procurement systems frequently misapply clinical procedure codes to administrative healthcare contracting; this code shows no genuine recent activity in state and local government purchasing of the orthopedic surgical service it nominally describes.

The geographic spread and issuing-body mix of the misaligned opportunities reflect the broader healthcare procurement landscape: City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). These represent a mix of municipal, county, state, and special-purpose health system entities. No pattern of procurement activity under UNSPSC 85704417 for actual orthopedic surgical services is evident in recent state and local notices.
