About 07PM40Z

07PM40Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the thymus using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of thymus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (07.92).

For a different body part, codes include 07PK40Z (thoracic duct), 07PL40Z (cisterna chyli), 07PN40Z (lymphatic), 07PP40Z (spleen) and 07PT40Z (bone marrow).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 07PM00Z (open), 07PM30Z (percutaneous) and 07PMX0Z (external).

With a different device, use 07PM43Z (infusion device) and 07PM4YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 163 (Major Chest Procedures with MCC), DRG 164 (Major Chest Procedures with CC), DRG 165 (Major Chest Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 628 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 629 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R.
