UNSPSC 85716304: Fusion of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, anterior column, 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 0RGA3KJ

UNSPSC 85716304 Fusion of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. Six recent opportunities posted under or near this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty hospital services for detained youth — none of which align with the spinal fusion surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this particular surgical procedure code does not reflect how state and local governments are currently tagging medical services procurements.

The limited and off-topic opportunity set spans Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards requesting independent medical evaluations), Washington State (Department of Transportation ferries occupational surveillance), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County health system contracts), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation requesting youth detention medical services). Without a clear pattern of solicitations actually seeking spine surgery or orthopedic surgical services under this code, vendors should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before investing in pursuit strategy under this designation.
