The C1751 and C1788 are the two codes for you to look at. (I use the C1788)
"A" codes dont work for an ASC (or least I've never had any luck).

You are right, if its a Medicare patient, there is no additional reimbursement due to the N1 payment indicator. You will only receive payment from commercial/private payors. Same thing for mesh w/hernias. Medicare isnt paying for any of it anymore
