For those bothered by the high cost of Eliquis, ( and who isn't?) here's some information I found immensely valuable to help with that cost.. The manufacturer ( Bristol Meyers Squibb) offers a coupon that can be used to pay for a 30 day supply of Eliquis for a copay of $10. The coupon can be used for a period of two years worth of refills ( or a $6600 limit, not sure how that is applied). Customers with private drug plan insurance ( not government insurance such as the Part D Medicare drug plans, Medicaid or Tricare) who live in the US are eligible for this discount. The card is available on the manufacturer's website- ( link below), following the instructions on the site ( starting with the cost, savings and support tab on the left) and filling out the questionnaire to determine eligibility, the card with a unique ID can be printed. This card is taken to the pharmacy with the prescription ( or the information added to a patient's existing information there), and the refill, along with subsequent 30 day refills will be $10. The pharmacy has to be a participating member of the program to get this, but it looks as though the larger chain pharmacies are ( as was my little chain pharmacy) though the website also has a form that can be filled out and submitted by an eligible customer for direct reimbursement if their pharmacy does not participate in the program.
It's certainly been a worthwhile thing for me, I'm happy to pay $10 instead of the $110 I was paying for a 30 day supply of Eliquis. Just something to consider, for those who might be eligible.
Oops, as a new member, I can't post the link. But anyone interested can google the Bristol Meyers Squibb website, Eliquis savings, or something similar and find the information.
