What will replace AWP?

Any benchmark that replaces AWP must be valid, widely available, stable, transparent, standardized, and comprehensive, according to speakers at a recent online seminar on drug reimbursement conducted by Avalere Health.

Presentations covered the pros and cons of each of several pricing benchmarks. Among the contenders to replace AWP - if it should be entirely replaced - are wholesale acquisition cost (WAC), average acquisition cost (AAC), average sales price (ASP), average manufacturer price (AMP), and average acquisition cost (AAC), according to Jenna Stento of Avalere Health.
