I would code this as 6mg of dexamethasone (6 units of J1100) with 2mg of waste using the JW modifier (2 units of J1100-JW).

Thank for you help Ms. Briggs
I have searched and found a lot of information on the internet but it was not clear to me and I always had doubts. Could you please tell me about the JW modifier; Does it only apply to Medicare patients or also to Medicaid and FFS lines of service? Once again; thank you for you help
