The maker charges our fed and state governments $500/month, IIRC. Without any insurance, it would be $200/month. I imagine Eliquis has a similar program. If you're paying retail, I recommend doing some research.
Thats a BIG YEP!
Ya gotta do it. And do note that open season for insurance changes in in October and Formularies that list what meds the insurance pays for is not published till January three months latter! SUBTERFUGE!
We gotta do our research. In our office we have three providers and two girls up front trying to keep up with prescriptions and insurance and WE CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT WITH CERTAINTY. More often it is, submit it and see if its payed. I freely admit this to our patients and it is appreciated, but still I should know. Now I am on a rant, sorry.
Do note that at 200 USD a month that is about 7 bucks a day. That is less then what some people spend on coffee, Ha...
