How to Save on Eliquis: Why Cash-Pay Care Might Be Your Best Option
Eliquis (apixaban) is one of the most commonly prescribed medications for preventing blood clots, strokes, and embolisms in patients with atrial fibrillation. Although highly effective, Eliquis is notably expensive, making affordability a significant concern, especially for those on Medicare.
If you're currently struggling with the high cost of Eliquis, here's why a cash-pay health network, such as CanAmerica Plus, could provide substantial savings compared to traditional Medicare Part D plans.
The High Cost of Eliquis on Medicare
Under Medicare Part D, Eliquis is frequently placed in higher-tier (usually tier 3) formularies, resulting in substantial out-of-pocket expenses. Even with Medicare coverage, the costs can quickly add up due to:
Monthly premiums
Deductibles (averaging around $500 annually)
Co-payments and coinsurance, often 25% or more of the drug's retail price
Given Eliquis' typical retail cost---approximately $471 per month---Medicare beneficiaries often face substantial financial burdens, easily totaling thousands annually after considering premiums and co-pays.
Why Cash-Pay Networks Can Save You More

Unlike typical pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) or insurance-based discounts, CanAmerica Plus connects directly with dozens of pharmacies, searching across our network to identify the lowest available cash price. Rather than relying on inflated "usual and customary" pharmacy prices, CanAmerica Plus works to get patients costs that are much closer to the pharmacy's actual acquisition cost, ensuring you pay significantly less for medications like Eliquis.
