I need some advice regarding this code. Although the Sling Operation is coded 57288 and I was advised that the sling device is carved out for this particular payer I am currently working on, however, I am wondering if it is appropriate to code C1771 also if it is not carved out? This an ASC setting. Thank You in advance for your advice.

It is proper to bill this code for the sling. However, payment will ultimately depend on your contract, which I assume you have since you mentioned a carveout. You would not bill this to Medicare since the payment indicator is "N1" which indicates a packaged service. Thanks.:)
