About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Wisconsin licenses prescription drug wholesale distributors through the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) and its Pharmacy Examining Board. The license is conditioned on a surety bond — a financial backstop for the state, not insurance for you.

The statute lets the board require a bond not to exceed $100,000, and the standard amount most distributors file is $5,000 on DSPS Form #2819. The bond secures payment of fees or costs related to your license that go unpaid for more than 30 days after they become final.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Wisconsin (the obligee). Chain pharmacy warehouses engaged only in intracompany transfers are exempt. If your circumstances mean the board set a different amount, send us your application and we'll match it.

Wis. Stat. 450.071(5) (DSPS Form #2819)Wis. Stat. 450.071(5) lets the Pharmacy Examining Board require every wholesale distributor to submit a surety bond (or equivalent security) acceptable to the board in an amount not to exceed $100,000, to secure payment of license-related fees or costs unpaid more than 30 days after they become final. The standard bond DSPS accepts is $5,000 on Form #2819; chain pharmacy warehouses doing only intracompany transfers are exempt. Confirm your required amount on your DSPS application.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Wisconsin prescription drug wholesale distributor bond?The premium is $100 flat. The standard bond amount is $5,000, and the price is set by our carrier for this specific bond — same number for every distributor on the $5,000 bond.
Do I pay the $5,000?No. You pay $100. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Why is the price $100?Because that's the premium our carrier sets for this specific bond under its rate book — not a percentage calculation. The price you see is the checkout price.
Is there a credit check?The application has no credit section, and most applications on this bond approve instantly. If a check ever runs, it is a soft pull that never affects your credit score.
What if the board required more than $5,000?The statute lets DSPS require up to $100,000, though $5,000 is the standard amount most distributors file. If your application names a higher figure, send it to us and we'll issue the exact amount at the correct carrier rate.
