A “General” Supply Chain Inspection is for most businesses that provide a combination of services (eg, prescription wholesale distribution, OTC medical device distribution, 3PL, etc). A “Complex” Supply Chain Inspection is for outsourcing facilities which are inspected for both distribution and certain compounding activities.

An extensive inspection fee ($1,500) may be required if NABP determines the work needed to complete the inspection process requires additional time onsite and/or to write the report. An example of when this fee may apply includes when a facility has numerous or complex business models.
