Arizona Pharmaceutical Wholesaler Bond

Pharmaceutical wholesalers play a crucial role in the distribution of prescription drugs and medical supplies. To ensure the safety and integrity of this process, the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) mandates that pharmaceutical wholesalers obtain a Pharmaceutical Wholesaler Bond as part of their licensing requirements. This surety bond serves as a financial guarantee that wholesalers will comply with state laws and regulations governing their industry.

The pharmaceutical wholesaler's bond guarantees the principal's compliance with the requirements for wholesale distribution of prescription-only drugs as defined in the Arizona Pharmacy Practice Act, A.R.S. Title 32 Chapter 18 (the Act) and any rules adopted by the Board, and to secure payment of any administrative penalties imposed by the ASBP, fees and costs incurred by the ASBP that the Principal fails to pay thirty (30) days after the fine or costs become final. The Arizona surety bond is ostensibly limited to penal sum however a modifying provision of the bond form (provision 7.) states, "Should any proceedings be necessary to enforce this bond, the ASBP shall be allowed to recover any reasonable attorneys' fees, prejudgment and post-judgment interest at the legal rate, and costs, in addition to other sums found due. Under this bond, whether private or public attorneys are used by the ASBP to enforce the bond, attorneys' fees are calculated at the commercial rate for private attorneys within the metropolitan Phoenix area.", therefore losses in excess of the bond penalty may be contemplated. Questions about the surety bond and permitting may be directed to:
