Re-posting from another thread if helpful, but $70/mo rather than $30 (still much better than $700/mo!):

My husband and I entered into the so called donut hole last year and both are on Eliquis. I asked my PCP about drugs from Canada and he gave me information about a pharmacy that other of his patients had used successfully. LifeRx is the one we are using to get Apixaban/generic Eliquis. They offer several options as to amount, strength and source for the drug including the UK, India and, of course, Canada. It took awhile and some calls to their help line to order from their somewhat confusing website and at the time the payment methods included American Express as the only credit card they would accept. The other option was to use wire transfer which is what we use. I received notice that they now do not accept any credit card for payment. You must provide them with a prescription from your doctor...ours gave us one on a full 8X10 sheet. Easily legible and fax-friendly. LifeRx notifies us when we are eligible for refills and the refill process is quick and easy. The cost of my 3 month supply was under $70 the first time but the cost increased the next time to $76. This included shipping. The price fluctuates. Expect a wait time between 2-3 weeks to receive. I'll admit I was nervous about ordering from them and was anxious waiting for the shipment to get here but we are very satisfied with the price and the help line is available.

sherryzitter, this was my original post. I just want to clarify that this $70 price was for 180 capsules-3 month supply, not for one month. So that works out to $25 or less for one month, which is a great relief, financially, especially since both my husband and I need this medication!

The last refill ordered earlier this week was $73.11 which includes shipping. We order through the Canadian site LifeRx and choose their pharmacy located in India. They also offer ordering from the UK, Canada, Mauritus...but the Indian supplier is the least expensive and it's the same generic (Apixaban) which will eventually be available in the US, hopefully in 2026. We are very satisfied with this company which operates under strict regulations, equal to those the US pharmaceutical manufacturers follow. We are thankful that our primary care physician provided us with this option in order to continue taking this medication.
