Average WAC Pricing File

Connect to the Pricing Concepts You Really Need

As the industry considers alternative pricing concepts suitable for replacing the Average Wholesale Price (AWP) pricing benchmark, Clinical Drug Information seeks to provide our customers with useful options. Created by algorithm, the Average Wholesale Acquisition Cost, or Average WAC, is a proprietary pricing concept that bears some similarities to the Medi-Span Average Average Wholesale Price (AAWP) concept.

  • Improves availability of a WAC-based price for a product when a WAC for a specific NDC is unavailable from the manufacturer

What It Provides

  • Both Average WAC (AWAC) and Generic Equivalent WAC (GEWAC) pricing
  • Current and up to 12 historical AWAC prices

    • Delivery Timing Options

    • Daily
