Xarelto (rivaroxaban) is a brand-name prescription anticoagulant that prevents and treats blood clots. Healthcare providers commonly prescribe it for conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease (CAD), and peripheral artery disease (PAD). It’s also used to prevent blood clots after hip or knee replacement surgery. People without insurance can pay up to $800 monthly for treatment, but a lower-priced generic version is available.

Different pharmacies offer different prices for the same medication. SingleCare helps find the best price for you.
How much does Xarelto cost without insurance?
A one-month supply of Xarelto, consisting of 60 tablets at 2.5 mg each, can cost up to $800. However, the price you pay depends on the dosage and the pharmacy. At $800 per month, Xarelto can cost around $26 per day. Using a SingleCare coupon at participating pharmacies may help lower the price to about $6 a day.
If you don’t have insurance, you can ask your healthcare provider about generic rivaroxaban or other treatment options. A healthcare provider may suggest other drugs that work just like Xarelto, called direct factor Xa inhibitors, such as Eliquis (apixaban) and Savaysa (edoxaban).
Other possible treatment options include Arixtra (fondaparinux), Jantoven (warfarin), Pradaxa (dabigatran), and Plavix (clopidogrel). These drugs all affect blood clotting differently than Xarelto and may have different side effects, but all are FDA-approved to treat some of the same medical conditions. They may also be available in lower-priced generic versions.
How much does generic Xarelto cost without insurance?
Starting in 2025, generic versions of Xarelto became available in all dosage strengths, including a generic starter pack for people being treated for DVT or PE. While the generic is less expensive than the brand-name version, its retail price may still be higher than many other common generics, like those used for high blood pressure.

Xarelto’s retail cost doesn’t typically vary much based on dosage strength. However, the retail cost of a month’s supply of the lowest strength tablets (2.5 mg) is often higher than other strengths since people take twice as many each month.

Is Xarelto covered by insurance?
Nearly all commercial and Medicare Part D prescription drug plans cover Xarelto. Most insurance companies offer Tier 2 or preferred coverage for the drug. Medicaid also covers Xarelto, but coverage details can vary by state. The copay cost is generally low, but other factors, such as deductibles and prescription quantity, may influence the final out-of-pocket cost.
How to get Xarelto without insurance
Without health insurance coverage, the out-of-pocket costs for both brand-name and generic Xarelto can be challenging. Patient assistance programs and manufacturer savings programs might help some people, but not everyone will meet the eligibility requirements. There are other and sometimes easier ways to afford drugs, and the first place to start is a SingleCare savings card.
1. Use a SingleCare prescription drug discount card
The quickest way to save money on a Xarelto prescription is to get a free Xarelto coupon from SingleCare. With this coupon, Xarelto can cost as low as $193. Sign up for SingleCare’s loyalty program to earn bonus savings on future drug purchases.
2. Switch to generic Xarelto
Switching to generic Xarelto may help reduce prescription costs. Generic versions are often available for up to 50% less than the brand-name medication. Savings may be even greater with a SingleCare rivaroxaban discount. Ask a pharmacist about generic options and available discounts to maximize your savings.
3. Talk to a healthcare provider about other medications
If brand-name or generic Xarelto is still costly, talk to a healthcare provider about other blood thinners that might work for you. Some older prescription medications, like warfarin, can be more accessible and still effective. Other anticoagulants like Eliquis (apixaban) or Pradaxa (dabigatran) may be better alternatives, depending on your condition. Seek medical advice from a healthcare provider to find an alternative that works for you.
4. Compare prices
Believe it or not, different pharmacies charge different prices for brand-name prescription drugs. It pays to shop around, but start your search with SingleCare’s 12-month price comparison table. Even within the same city, you might find that prices differ between nearby pharmacies.
5. Get help from your county or city
County and city governments can offer help in finding resources to get medications for people living in more populated areas. Community and charitable clinics may be able to provide free or low-cost medications. There are also insurance programs that could provide low-cost or ultra-low-cost health insurance. You may not qualify for many of these clinics or programs, but they are worth knowing about if healthcare costs are a problem. The place to start is with your county’s or city’s department of health.
