UNSPSC 85715032: Drainage of left temporomandibular joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left temporomandibular joint, percutaneous 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 0R9D3ZZ

UNSPSC 85715032 Drainage of left temporomandibular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the code's nominal surgical scope. The posted opportunities instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve temporomandibular joint procedures or percutaneous drainage techniques. The mismatch suggests that this UNSPSC code is either a cataloging error in the source data or has been misapplied to non-surgical health services and administrative medical contracting.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human resources divisions (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal employee benefits departments (City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No recent opportunities reflect the orthopedic or otolaryngological surgical services the code nominally describes.
