Rebates

Rebates or administrative fees are offered to certain wholesale customers, GPOs and end-user customers, consistent with pharmaceutical industry practices. Settlement of rebates and fees may generally occur from one to 15 months from date of sale. We accrue for customer rebates at the time of sale based on the contracted rates and historical redemption rates. Upon receipt of chargeback, due to the availability of product and customer specific information on these programs, we establish a provision for customer rebates based on the specific terms of each agreement. Rebates are reflected in the financial statements as accrued liabilities. Our provision for customer rebates during each of the three years ended was as follows:
