eliquis affordability question

Hello all,

Family member with MCR + a good secondary/supplement was RX'd eliquis, and it is still costing them around $700/month. Any tips on navigating patient assistance you can give me for a part D pt.? May have them just switch their secondary plan as I couldn't find anything beyond the commercial copay card.

Thank you- work for another company and thought I would try here!

Thats BMS. Youre just lucky they dont need revlimid. Average ticket price after reimbursements is 17k per year.
 








1-855-Eliquis should be able to help. Sounds like high deductible
Thanks, its actually not- it's Part D with a premium secondary, Anthem/BCBS. Will have them try that #, much appreciated. I did send them a GoodRx coupon which should bring it down to $560. Looks like via MMIT should be covered T3. Even tried speaking with their pharmacy. If all else fails will have them switch their secondary.
Is this a normal Medicare cost for the drug?
