Arizona Drug Wholesaler Surety Bond | AmeriPro Surety Bonds
An Arizona drug wholesaler is a salesperson who, for a fee, provides the wholesale distribution of prescription-only drugs within the state of Arizona.
In 2011, Arizona revised some of the statutes involved in being a prescription wholesaler.
Applicants for a drug wholesaler license in the state will need to fill out an application for a wholesaler permit.
Additionally, applicants for this license will need to meet all of the following:
Finally, they will need to post a $100,000 surety bond in favor of the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy.
No surety bond should ever be thought of as an insurance bond, and the Arizona wholesaler bond is no exception.
The bond, besides being required for licensing, protects others, including the state of Arizona (who is the obligee) from any acts of criminality, fraud, or malfeasance which an Arizona wholesaler might commit in the business of their chosen profession.
Were there ever a claim to be paid on this surety bond, it would be the responsibility of the one bonded (known as a principal) to fully reimburse the surety company for all expenses, including fees and attorney costs.
The bond, however, does give comfort and demonstrates that an applicant is in good standing with the licensing board.
Applicants for the drug wholesaler bond will pay nowhere near the $100,000 amount required.
The amount paid, known as the premium, will be a small percentage of the bond’s face amount, and may range anywhere between, normally, 2-5%.
The amount you will pay will be determined by your credit score.
At AmeriPro Surety Bonds, our credit check is a “soft pull” on your credit report.
