Igerkin, your question was: “are there other benefits to taking Eliquis over Coumadin?“
I believe the answer to your question is to be found in a number of places. I’m just including some links that I found helpful.

I take Eliquis after having an internal bleed when on Coumadin. I would not go back. Don’t fall prey to alarmists or misinformation. When one needs to be on a blood-thinner - or any necessary medication - one needs to weigh the cost to benefit ration in terms of the cost to your body of taking vs. not taking the medication.
Good luck and good health
