UNSPSC 85704842: Release right patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right patella, 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 0QND4ZZ

UNSPSC 85704842 Release right patella, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no material alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code are soliciting disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration programs, occupational medical surveillance, detention youth medical care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which concern the orthopedic procedure itself. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a data error in code assignment.

The six opportunities on file span diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for public safety disability claims), the City of Long Beach (surgical care networks for employee health plans), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health screening for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty care for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing). Activity is spread across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No recent opportunities actually procure the orthopedic procedure this code nominally covers; business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for direct contracting purposes and verify code assignments in any future RFPs posted under this classification.
