CMS Source: CMS ICD-10-PCS code files FY 2022–2026.
Do not report XXE5XR7 for inpatient discharges on or after October 1, 2026. Claims with a deleted code are rejected. Build the current code from the ICD-10-PCS tables.

XXE5XR7 is a deleted ICD-10-PCS code, removed from the code set effective October 1, 2026. It was valid for measurement of Infection, Mechanical Initial Specimen Diversion Technique Using Active Negative Pressure, New Technology Group 7 on inpatient discharges from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2026, 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 XXE5XR7

Is XXE5XR7 still a valid ICD-10-PCS code?

No. XXE5XR7 was deleted from ICD-10-PCS effective October 1, 2026, with the FY 2027 code set. It cannot be reported for inpatient discharges on or after that date.

What replaced XXE5XR7?

The CMS ICD-10-PCS conversion table lists no replacement for XXE5XR7. 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 XXE5XR7 for older discharges?

Yes, for inpatient discharges from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2026. 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 XXE5XR7.
