Have you looked into using the 5mg code with multiple units?

If your office/facility has already purchased the 50 mg vial and you used half, bill a second line with a JW modifier:"Drug amount discarded/not administered to any patient." Be sure and bill the appropriate units on the each detail line to indicate the actual dose given on line one, and second line amount discarded amount as 25 mg.
