This class includes one or more of 16 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the joints of the hand with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0R.

UNSPSC 85713700 Joints hand, percutaneous approach-part B is a Class code that encompasses medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, and specialty medical services for government employees, retirees, pensioners, and dependents—though the recent state and local opportunities bearing this code show substantial scope drift from orthopedic procedure coding toward broader occupational medicine, disability benefits administration, and health plan carve-out services. State and local buyers under this code include municipal pension boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), county health systems (Santa Clara Health System), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county human resources and health consortia (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), city benefits administrators (City of Long Beach), county detention authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and independent school or transit employee health programs. The work spans independent medical evaluations and disability record summarization for public safety pension determinations; occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers including baseline, periodic, and exit examinations; specialty surgical carve-out networks and Centers of Excellence management for municipal employee health plans; pharmacy benefit management and claims processing; temporary clinical staffing for hospital ancillary departments; and emergency and specialty inpatient care for youth in custody.

Geographic activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with Arizona (Phoenix pension boards), California (Santa Clara County, Long Beach), Florida (Collier County), and Washington (Ferries system) representing recent posts through October 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) to conduct medical record summarization and coordinate disability examinations for approximately 75 public safety pension applicants annually; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026) covering baseline and periodic occupational health examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit and Centers of Excellence carve-out services (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) managing specialty procedure networks for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), establishing a five-year qualified vendor pool for multiple ancillary clinical categories on a non-exclusive, no-guarantee basis. The code shows low concentration across issuing bodies but sustained activity in municipal and county health administration, occupational compliance, and benefits carve-out services.
