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.
Audit ophthalmic anti-VEGF dosage and wastage (Modifiers JW/JZ), enforce Medicare Part B 28-day injection intervals, resolve bilateral eye billing rules (-50 vs -RT/-LT), and generate compliant ANSI 837P claim lines.
