UNSPSC 85713575: Drainage of right metacarpocarpal joint with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right metacarpocarpal joint with drainage device, 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 0R9S00Z

UNSPSC 85713575 Drainage of right metacarpocarpal joint with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability 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 — none of which involve the specific procedure named in the code. This mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the underlying opportunity records or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement without regard to its actual definition.

The issuing bodies pursuing opportunities tagged to this code span state health and transportation agencies, county commissioners' offices, city retirement systems, and regional health authorities across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. No single buyer dominates the recent posting activity. Without a coherent body of opportunities actually aligned to the code's stated scope, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for purposes of the narrowly defined orthopedic procedure it names, and should instead monitor the specific health services categories (occupational medicine, medical evaluations, specialty physician networks, pharmacy administration) through their properly aligned UNSPSC codes.
