About ICD-9-CM 40.0
40.0 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for incision of lymphatic structures. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-PCS took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 89 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 079000Z (Drainage of Head Lymphatic with Drainage Device, Open Approach), 07900ZZ (Drainage of Head Lymphatic, Open Approach) and 079040Z (Drainage of Head Lymphatic with Drainage Device, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
