Where can Eliquis be purchased

[bbnotrevealed]

I have been taking Eliquis and it has been paid by my insurance.

Now my insurance has denied my Eliquis.

I have heard of purchasing Eliquis from Canada or somewhere less expensive.

Can anyone please advise their experience with who they purchase it from and is the quality as good.

Find out which noac is covered and have your doctor prescribe accordingly.

I agree with Rebecca79. Your doctor is the best person to address this. She or he can prescribe another anticoagulant or convince the insurance company that you need to be on Eliquis. As a last resort, sometimes you can get a lower cost from the manufacturer directly.

I am on Medicare, with a supplement and Part D prescription plan. When I was first diagnosed and checked with my insurance company, the cost was $800 for 3 months, after the $450 deductible. So, I looked into buying it from Canada. My EP was willing to help with that, but it is not as easy as one might think. There is a possibility that they won't take your prescription, and finding a safe pharmacy can be tricky. I found some information that said that pharmacies in Canada are "self-regulated", meaning that the government does not directly oversee them. That might be fine, but you can't really tell. If you are close to the border, it might be easier, or if you know someone in Canada that can help you.

What I finally did was to ask my EP and my cardiologist for enough samples to get me through to the open enrollment period, and they were very cooperative with that. Then, I changed Part D plans, so now my cost is $150 every 3 months. If you can't do that, then it is probably best for you to ask your EP to switch you to Xarelto or some other anti-coagulant that your insurance covers, or see if your EP can convince the insurance comp to cover it.
