About 07PMX0Z

07PMX0Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the thymus using an external 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 removal of other device from thorax, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.49).

For a different body part, codes include 07PKX0Z (thoracic duct), 07PLX0Z (cisterna chyli), 07PNX0Z (lymphatic), 07PPX0Z (spleen) and 07PTX0Z (bone marrow).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 07PM00Z (open), 07PM30Z (percutaneous) and 07PM40Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 07PMX3Z (infusion device).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
