The benchmarks you need — from AWP to WAC — from a source you can trust


Medi-Span pricing data provides you with a wide variety of pricing concepts, including Average Wholesale Price (AWP) and Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC), as well as key reimbursement attributes, so you can more confidently make decisions.

  • Average Wholesale Acquisition Cost Pricing (AWAC)
    Support your pricing analytics with Medi-Span AWAC which provides both AWAC and Generic Equivalent WAC (GEWAC) pricing with current and up to 12 historical prices. We help you by providing a way to determine WAC pricing for a specific NDC when it is unavailable from the manufacturer. You will also receive information necessary to build a WAC-based Price Index for reimbursement rules or payment rules for multiple-source pharmaceutical products.
