How much does an Iowa pharmacy wholesale distributor surety bond cost?
The premium an applicant will pay for an Iowa pharmacy wholesale distributor surety bond is highly dependent on the amount of the bond they need. The Iowa Board of Pharmacy requires applicants to submit a bond in an amount of $25,000 if their annual gross receipts tax from the previous year was less than $10,000,000. If the gross receipts tax is equal to or exceeds $10,000,000, a $100,000 surety bond is required.
Regardless of the required bond amount, pharmacy wholesaler bonds are always subject to underwriting—a process in which an underwriter reviews an applicant’s qualifications and determines the cost of his or her bond. Highly qualified applicants are typically approved for as little as 1% of the total bond amount, while less qualified applicants are subject to higher premiums.

Why do I need this bond?
Pharmacy wholesale distributor bonds are required of wholesalers as a provision of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act and must be obtained before the Iowa Board of Pharmacy will issue a wholesale distributor with a license. The bond guarantees that the licensee will adhere to all applicable rules found in chapters 124, 126, and 155A of the Iowa Code, 657 Iowa Administrative Code chapter 17, and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act.
These bonds are also put in place to guarantee that, in the event of the wholesale distributor’s failure to adhere to any applicable rules and regulations, financial compensation is available to any harmed parties.
