Key ​Takeaways:

What Is Eliquis Prescription Assistance Program?

The Eliquis Prescription Assistance Program is a manufacturer-sponsored initiative that provides Eliquis at no medication cost to patients who qualify based on income and insurance status. The program is designed for uninsured and underinsured individuals who cannot afford their medication. If approved, you receive your Eliquis free of charge, and you can reapply as needed for continued access.

Navigating this program on your own, however, means dealing with eligibility requirements, prescriber coordination, documentation, and annual re-enrollment deadlines — all while managing a serious medical condition that requires uninterrupted treatment.
AffordMyPrescriptions eliminates that burden. For a flat $69.95 per month, our Patient Advocates handle every step of your enrollment, from initial application through ongoing refills and annual re-enrollment, so you never face a gap in your blood thinner coverage.

DO YOU QUALIFY?

Eligibility is generally determined by annual household income levels. Most programs follow guidelines that include a limit of up to $40,000 for individuals, $60,000 for couples, and $100,000 for larger families. Because these requirements can vary, we encourage you to contact Afford My Prescriptions directly so we can review your specific situation and determine if you qualify for assistance.

Understanding Eliquis:

Eliquis (apixaban) is a prescription blood thinner taken twice daily to reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots. It is used in adults with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem), to treat and prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and to reduce the risk of blood clots after hip or knee replacement surgery. Eliquis is available as 2.5 mg and 5 mg tablets and does not require routine blood monitoring or dietary restrictions, making it a preferred choice over older blood thinners like warfarin.

How it works:

Your body has a complex system for forming blood clots — it’s essential for stopping bleeding when you’re injured, but it can become dangerous when clots form inside your blood vessels without a good reason. One of the key proteins that drives clot formation is called Factor Xa. This protein acts as a critical link in the clotting cascade, helping convert a substance called prothrombin into thrombin, which then converts fibrinogen into the fibrin strands that make up the physical structure of a blood clot.

Eliquis works by directly blocking Factor Xa. By inhibiting this single protein, Eliquis interrupts the clotting cascade at a critical point, reducing your body’s ability to form dangerous blood clots. This is particularly important for people with atrial fibrillation, where the irregular rhythm of the heart can cause blood to pool and clot, potentially sending a clot to the brain and causing a stroke. Unlike older blood thinners like warfarin, Eliquis does not require regular blood tests to monitor its levels, has fewer dietary restrictions, and has a more predictable anticoagulant effect. You take one tablet twice a day, with or without food, at approximately the same times each day.

 
Form and use:

Available as 2.5 mg and 5 mg tablets. Taken daily as prescribed by your Doctor , with or without food, at approximately the same times each day.


Warnings:

This is a medication you cannot skip, reduce, or stop taking without risking a serious medical event. The consequences of missing doses or going without Eliquis can be severe and immediate. Stopping Eliquis without medical supervision can significantly increase your risk of stroke, blood clots, or pulmonary embolism.

 

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

How much does Eliquis cost without insurance?

The average retail price is approximately $500–$650 per month for 60 tablets (5 mg twice daily). With GoodRx coupons, you may pay $350–$385 per month. Medicare beneficiaries benefit from a negotiated price of approximately $231/month starting January 2026. Through AffordMyPrescriptions, qualifying patients receive Eliquis at no medication cost — our $69.95 monthly fee covers advocacy and program management.

You’re paying for our advocacy service, not the medication.

Yes. The Eliquis supplied through the assistance program is the exact same brand-name, FDA-approved apixaban tablet. It is identicalto what any retail pharmacy would dispense.

The FDA has approved generic apixaban, but it is not available at U.S. pharmacies due to ongoing patent protections. Generic entry is not expected
until April 1, 2028. Until then, only brand-name Eliquis is sold in the U.S., and the Patient Assistance Program remains the most affordable access pathway.

Eligibility for the assistance program varies. However, Medicare beneficiaries now benefit from a negotiated price of approximately $231 per month under the Inflation Reduction Act (effective January 2026), plus the $2,100 annual out-of-pocket cap on Part D drug spending. Contact AffordMyPrescriptions and we’ll help you determine the most affordable option for your specific situation.

No — stopping Eliquis without medical supervision can significantly increase your risk of stroke, blood clots, or pulmonary embolism.
