Anti-VEGF Intravitreal Injection & Bilateral Scrubber

Ophthalmic anti-VEGF injections represent high-dollar buy-and-bill investments where single-digit billing errors cause catastrophic revenue leakage. Medicare Part B strictly enforces 28-day treatment intervals, mandates Modifier JW for discarded single-dose vial wastage (and Modifier JZ for zero waste), and applies divergent bilateral billing requirements (-50 vs -RT/-LT). Scrub your injection and diagnostic claims before submission.
