Reports the amount of a single-dose container that was discarded rather than administered.

The administered amount goes on one line without the modifier; the discarded remainder goes on a second line with JW. Both lines carry the same code and NDC.

Medicare requires JW for drugs from single-dose containers when there is a discard, and its absence is a recovery-audit trigger.
