Question:

Instead of reporting a second line with the discarded drug amount and price, may a provider/supplier report one line with the amount used and the adjusted price?

Answer:

No. To identify and monitor billing and payment for discarded drugs under Medicare Part B, CMS requires the use of the JW modifier on a separate claim line.
