UNSPSC 85714000: Joints hand, percutaneous approach-part E

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 85714000 Joints hand, percutaneous approach-part E is a Class code that in practice encompasses medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, and healthcare administrative services rather than orthopedic joint procedures. State and local governments procure comprehensive occupational medical examinations, disability benefit medical record review and summarization, surgical benefit program administration, specialty pharmacy management, and temporary health professional staffing under this code. Issuing bodies include city pension boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, county human resources divisions, and regional health systems. The scope reflects a misalignment between the code's nominal nomenclature and actual procurement activity—jurisdictions are buying healthcare services delivery and administration rather than hand-joint orthopedic interventions.
