Crucial AWP pricing intelligence embedded in the workflows you use now

Average Whole Price (AWP) is an essential benchmark – widely used throughout the healthcare industry, it provides consistent reference point for billing, reimbursement, contract, and pricing calculations. Medi-Span provides key AWP intelligence that other solutions lack, supporting financial, operational, and treatment decisions throughout the healthcare ecosystem.

Bring AWP directly into operational workflows to support cost-effective billing and reimbursement.

Reduce team burdens

Focus on business needs while Medi-Span provides expert-reviewed, current AWP content.

Epic-ready integration

Embeds into existing Epic workflows to accompany other Medi-Span solutions or as a standalone file.

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


Medi-Span drug pricing intelligence 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.

  • Federal Government Pricing

    • Establish and compare pricing methodologies for state Medicaid and beyond.  
    • Saves you time by eliminating manual processing of pricing updates and data output changes from the government, and by delivering NADAC and/or ACA FUL pricing data in one resource  
    • Helps you stay current with content updates as often as daily when Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) posts new data 
    • Supports a wide range of applications by linking pricing data to National Drug Codes (NDCs)

  • Medicaid Rebates

    Avoid constant monitoring of Medicaid Rebate Programs.  

    • Helps increase efficiency as you can avoid manual monitoring of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) website for updates  
    • Saves you time by providing the same information published by the government as part of your regular drug file delivery while helping you with layout changes and non-routine postings by the government  

  • Medi-Span Electronic Drug File (MED-File)

    This foundational drug file provides you with regularly updated codified drug dictionary, drug vocabulary, and drug pricing for prescription drugs and medication-based over-the-counter products in the United States.

  • Payment Allowance Limit – Part B (PAL-B)

    Streamline your medicare reimbursement activities.
