McKesson OneStop Generics® Price Assurance Promotion Extended through December 31, 2015

Wednesday, June 24, 2015

McKesson is excited to announce that we have extended the Price Assurance Promotion for ISMC customers through December 31, 2015

Please note that the promotion has been extended. Between April 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015 the Price Assurance Promotion has provided bottom-line relief to independent retail pharmacies on over 530 items.

As a reminder, this promotion provides a 30-day price safeguard for McKesson OneStop Generics products, excluding controlled substances, in cases where a product’s WAC price increases by over 20% in one day.  McKesson will effectively extend the pharmacy’s pre-increase invoice price to the pharmacy’s purchases during the 30-day Price Assurance period, up to a unit limit based on historical purchase patterns.

The promotion will be reviewed on a quarterly basis. Please keep an eye out for future communications as we continue to improve transparency and strengthen our business.

Sincerely,

The OneStop Generics Program Team
