Under the Inflation Reduction Act, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) negotiated a Maximum Fair Price (MFP) of $231 for a 30-day supply of Eliquis, which is a 56% reduction from its 2023 list price.

The generic would have the same strength and dosage form as the brand, but would typically be priced lower.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you fill a prescription for Eliquis, you will receive a patient information leaflet.

However, the price can vary based on several factors, including the condition being treated and the prescribed dosage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on manufacturer data, people with atrial fibrillation who are commercially insured pay an average of $48 per month.

If Eliquis is not covered or needs prior authorization, your healthcare provider may need to submit documentation explaining why it\u2019s medically necessary. For example, you may have tried other blood thinners that didn\u2019t work as well or caused serious side effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some plans have step therapy limitations, meaning that less expensive blood thinners (such as warfarin) need to be tried first before Eliquis is covered. Your healthcare provider can work with your insurance company to request an exception if Eliquis is medically necessary for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your insurance does not cover Eliquis or your copays are high, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription-discount-card\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SingleCare discount card<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may help reduce your out-of-pocket cost at participating pharmacies.

For example, Eliquis has been studied for blood clot prevention in people hospitalized with COVID-19, but current guidelines do not recommend it for this purpose due to limited evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eliquis may also be <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK507910\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">used off-label<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia type A (HIT A), a rare blood reaction to heparin. In some stable patients, doctors may use Eliquis or another similar medication instead of injectable blood thinners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, some healthcare providers may prescribe Eliquis at doses not approved by the FDA, a practice known as off-label prescribing. For example, some healthcare providers underdose Eliquis, hoping to avoid the side effects of bleeding. However, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahajournals.org\/doi\/10.1161\/CIRCOUTCOMES.121.008608\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">studies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> show that underdosing does not reduce the occurrence of bleeding and leads to a higher risk of stroke and clots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"generic-alternatives-to-eliquis\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generic alternatives to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eliquis<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generic versions of other blood thinners are available for people who can\u2019t take Eliquis or want a lower-cost option.

If you&#8217;re switching to warfarin, your doctor may have you stop Eliquis and start both warfarin and a temporary injectable blood thinner at the time you would normally take your next Eliquis dose. Once your INR reaches the right range, the injectable is stopped, and you can continue with warfarin alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re switching from Eliquis to another blood thinner, such as Xarelto, Pradaxa, or an injectable option, the change is more straightforward. You can usually stop Eliquis and start the new medication at your next scheduled dose. Always follow your healthcare provider&#8217;s specific instructions when switching anticoagulants.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-are-some-ways-to-stay-safe-while-taking-eliquis\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are some ways to stay safe while taking Eliquis?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When taking Eliquis, or any blood thinner, there are some <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahrq.gov\/patients-consumers\/diagnosis-treatment\/treatments\/btpills\/btpills.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">steps you can take<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to stay as safe as possible:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tell your healthcare provider about all medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and dietary supplements.
