Questions About XXE5XM5

Is XXE5XM5 still a valid ICD-10-PCS code?

No. XXE5XM5 was deleted from ICD-10-PCS effective October 1, 2024, with the FY 2025 code set. It cannot be reported for inpatient discharges on or after that date.

What replaced XXE5XM5?

The CMS ICD-10-PCS conversion table maps XXE5XM5 to 8C02X6K. Confirm it matches the procedure documentation before you use it; a conversion is a starting point, not an automatic substitution.

Can I still use XXE5XM5 for older discharges?

Yes, for inpatient discharges from October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2024. ICD-10-PCS codes are assigned by the code set in effect on the date of discharge, so a corrected or late claim for a discharge in that window still uses XXE5XM5.
