An insurance plan's contract price consists of average wholesale price (AWP) minus 5%, plus a $3.00 dispensing fee. A prescription calls for 60 tablets of a drug whose AWP is $249.99 per 100 tablets. What price will be billed to the insurance company?

A. $142.44
C. $149.94
D. $152.99
B. $145.49

The correct answer is: C. $149.94

The correct answer is B. $145.49. The contract price for the prescription is calculated by taking the AWP of $249.99 and deducting 5%, which is $237.49. Then, the $3.00 dispensing fee is added, resulting in a total of $240.49 for 100 tablets. Since the prescription calls for 60 tablets, the final price billed to the insurance company would be $240.49 * 0.6 = $145.49. The other options are incorrect because A adds the dispensing fee twice and calculates the price for 100 tablets, C adds the entire AWP without any deductions, and D only includes the dispensing fee without any deductions.
