Price Disclosures For Colorado Prescribers

Colorado law requires prescription drug manufacturers to disclose in writing to Colorado prescribers the Wholesale Acquisition Cost (“WAC”) of marketed drugs when engaging in prescription drug marketing activities.

WAC represents the manufacturer’s published catalog or list price for a drug product to wholesalers as reported to third-party drug pricing publishers, not including prompt pay or other discounts, rebates, or reductions in price. The actual cost to a patient is based on several factors, including insurance coverage and potential financial or product assistance options available to them.

Colorado law also requires manufacturers to provide the names of generic drugs in the same therapeutic class as the marketed products. This does not imply that the products are interchangeable or have the same safety or efficacy. 

Please refer to the product’s FDA-approved label and indication for further information.
