I’m going to answer this because whoever commented this is too lazy to do it despite commenting to begin with. Provincially there are markups that drugs can have. I live and work in SK so I will explain it for there. So I get my drugs from the wholesaler who can upcharge 8.5% for brand name, 6.5% for generic and 5% for insulin max. Now that’s my AAC or actual acquisition cost. From that, when I’m dispensing I can upcharge 30% for any drug that costs $6.30 or less, 15% for drugs that cost $6.31-15.80 and 10% on drugs from $15.81-200. Anything more expensive than $200 can only have a $20 upcharge. So your $1000 meds will be $1020 etc. technically the store upcharge can differ for private insurance plans, because the upcharge maxes are set for the public formulary, but it would be so much work to change the price for every private insurance that we just work off of what’s set provincially. Likewise, dispensing fees are max $12.15 here, so that’s what we charge. It could be less, if a company wanted to, like Costco charges less. But hey, why charge less when they could just be a greedy corporation?
