Average wholesale price (AWP) primary source change as of September 28

First DataBank, our primary source for obtaining average wholesale price (AWP) for medications, recently discontinued publication of the Blue Book Average Wholesale Price (BBAWP). As of September 28, all National Drug Code (NDC) records containing AWP price values were removed from BBAWP and AWP pricing is no longer available from First DataBank.

We, therefore, began using Medispan as our primary source for AWP beginning September 28. This change should not impact our pricing of medical drug claims.
