Blood clots are no joking matter. If you\u2019re at risk of blood clots, then you\u2019re at risk for even more significant medical problems that can be life-threatening, such as deep vein thrombosis, a stroke, or a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs).\u00a0 Xarelto is a common medication prescribed by healthcare professionals to prevent or treat blood clots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cXarelto (rivaroxaban) is used to prevent blood clots in patients who are at risk of developing blood clots, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or pulmonary embolism (PE),\u201d explains <\/span>Chris McDermott<\/span><\/a>, a <\/span>nurse practitioner<\/span><\/a> in Jacksonville, Florida. \u201cIt works by inhibiting a clotting factor called factor Xa and is in a drug class called direct oral anticoagulants.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Xarelto, which is a factor Xa inhibitor, blocks the factor Xa enzyme, so the clotting properties of blood are slowed. It\u2019s commonly prescribed to patients with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat), individuals who have a higher risk of stroke, or those who are at risk of blood clots after a hip replacement or knee replacement surgery. While this potentially life-saving drug is a popular choice, it can also cost a pretty penny.<\/span><\/p>\n

How much does Xarelto cost?<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you were to purchase a 30-day supply of 20 mg tablets of Xarelto, it <\/span>could cost $697<\/span><\/a> without insurance. For people with Medicare, depending on which Part D plan they use for prescription drug coverage, Xarelto may cost anywhere from <\/span>$630 to $5,029<\/span><\/a> yearly. For those with Medicare Advantage plans, it\u2019s estimated that the yearly cost will be somewhere between $0 to $376.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith some commercial insurance, you can get it for as little as $10 per month,\u201d says <\/span>Brian Clark<\/span><\/a>, a registered nurse and CEO of <\/span>United Medical Education<\/span><\/a>. \u201cMedicaid also offers very cheap options.\u201d<\/span> Since Medicaid plans and private insurance plans vary widely between states, it is more difficult to estimate these costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can I get Xarelto for free?<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you take Xarelto, there are a few ways you may be able to get Xarelto for free.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes doctors\u2019 offices are given free samples to give to patients to see how they like a medication before buying a month\u2019s supply. If the healthcare professional you visit has these samples, ask if you can try them out.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have a Medicare Advantage plan or a good employer-provided or private insurance plan, it\u2019s possible that your insurance will cover Xarelto completely. On the other hand, if you have no insurance, Xarelto has several patient assistance programs like the Johnson & Johnson Patient Assistance Foundation, which may donate the medication to you at no cost.<\/span><\/p>\n
