What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Kansas licenses wholesale drug distributors through the Board of Pharmacy, and conditions the license on a surety bond. The bond is a public-and-state protection guarantee that you operate within the federal Drug Supply Chain Security Act and Kansas pharmacy law, and that the state can recover unpaid fees, costs, or penalties tied to your distribution activity.
The bond amount tracks the federal floor in 21 U.S.C. 360eee-2: the standard penal sum is $100,000 (form S-345), which applies when a wholesaler's annual gross receipts for the prior tax year exceed $10,000,000. Smaller wholesalers can use the reduced $25,000 bond instead.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Kansas (the obligee). If a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you. Several distributor categories are exempt from the bond, so confirm your status with the Board before filing.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $100,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
E-sign & file with the Board of Pharmacy. Pay online and receive the executed bond (form S-345) ready to file with your wholesale distributor application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Board insists.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $1,000 at the $100,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
