    Do we report modifier JZ when billing for sample drugs?

    Answer:
    Sample drugs are excluded. When the physician does not purchase the drug and it is not payable under Medicare Part B, do not report modifier JZ. 

    Learn more about billing for sample drugs and explore the resources for JW and JZ modifiers on the Coding for Injectable Drugs webpage.
