Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a Eliquis copay card if I have Medicare?
Usually no. Federal anti-kickback rules generally prohibit people with Medicare from using manufacturer copay coupons or savings cards for Eliquis. But you may still qualify for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program, which provides Eliquis free or at low cost based on income.
How do I get help paying for Eliquis?
Start with the Eliquis manufacturer assistance program, check whether a nonprofit foundation has an open fund for your condition, and apply for Medicare Extra Help if your income is limited. We can screen you and help you apply — free.
Is Eliquis covered by Medicare Part D?
Eliquis is often on Part D and Medicare Advantage drug formularies, frequently on a higher brand or specialty tier and sometimes with prior authorization. Coverage and cost vary by plan — we can check yours.
Is applying for Eliquis assistance free?
Yes. Every program here is free to apply for. Never pay a fee to enroll in Extra Help, a foundation grant, or a manufacturer assistance program — that's a red flag for a scam.
