I need to find verification that you DO bill for waste on injectibles. Am I overlooking this info in the HCPCS book?
Example: Single dose vial of 80mg, depo, shelf life 24 hours, Provider orders 40mg and that is administered, yet the additional 40 mg in the SDV is waste. Our clinic director is telling us this would be a loss and not billable. I have always been told it is billable if there is no option to use the medicine.
