XXE5XN6 is a deleted ICD-10-PCS code, removed from the code set effective October 1, 2025. It was valid for measurement of Infection, Positive Blood Culture Fluorescence Hybridization for Organism Identification, Concentration and Susceptibility, New Technology Group 6 on inpatient discharges from October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2025, and later discharges must use a current code. CMS listed no replacement for it in the conversion table, so build the current code from the ICD-10-PCS tables or find it through the Alphabetic Index.

Questions About XXE5XN6

Is XXE5XN6 still a valid ICD-10-PCS code?

No. XXE5XN6 was deleted from ICD-10-PCS effective October 1, 2025, with the FY 2026 code set. It cannot be reported for inpatient discharges on or after that date.

What replaced XXE5XN6?

The CMS ICD-10-PCS conversion table lists no replacement for XXE5XN6. Build the current code from the ICD-10-PCS tables or find it through the Alphabetic Index, then confirm it against the procedure documentation.

Can I still use XXE5XN6 for older discharges?

Yes, for inpatient discharges from October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2025. 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 XXE5XN6.
