UNSPSC 85711242: Insertion of infusion device into right acromioclavicular joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into right acromioclavicular joint, open 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 0RHG03Z

UNSPSC 85711242 Insertion of infusion device into right acromioclavicular joint, open approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains six recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code, but none align with the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Instead, the opportunities solicited independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance services, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — all fundamentally different from the implantation of infusion devices into a specific joint. The mismatch suggests either erroneous code assignment in the source data or that the code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for the work it nominally describes.

No further pursuit is warranted under this code for vendors offering orthopedic device insertion or related surgical services until issuing bodies begin consistently and correctly tagging relevant opportunities with this Commodity code.
