What is Eliquis (apixaban) priced at?
Eliquis (apixaban) pricing depends on dose strength, tablet count, whether you’re using insurance, and the pharmacy’s contracted rate. Because those factors change the out-of-pocket price a lot, there is no single fixed “Eliquis price” that applies to everyone.

How much does Eliquis cost with insurance vs. without insurance?
With insurance, many patients pay a copay or coinsurance amount that varies by plan formulary tier and prior authorization requirements. Without insurance, the price is typically much higher and can vary widely by pharmacy and region.
If you’re trying to estimate your likely cost, the most useful details are:
- Which strength (e.g., 2.5 mg or 5 mg)
- How many tablets per month supply
- Your insurance coverage type (commercial plan vs. Medicare) and whether the drug is preferred on your formulary
Do generics or lower-cost alternatives exist?
Eliquis is apixaban. Whether you’ll pay less with a generic depends on current availability in your country and which products your pharmacy carries. Even when an “apixaban” generic exists, your out-of-pocket cost can still differ based on your specific plan’s formulary rules.
Why does Eliquis cost vary from pharmacy to pharmacy?
Prices can differ due to:
- Pharmacy-specific negotiated rates
- Manufacturer or pharmacy discount programs
- Whether you’re buying a 30-day vs. 90-day supply
- The exact tablet strength and count
If you’re trying to lower your Eliquis out-of-pocket cost, what should you check?
Common steps that reduce patient cost include:
- Asking your pharmacist for the cash price and the insured price for the same strength and quantity
- Checking if your plan requires prior authorization or step therapy
- Asking about manufacturer assistance or pharmacy discount options (if eligible)
If you tell me your Eliquis dose strength (2.5 mg or 5 mg), how many tablets you need (or your monthly supply), and your country/insurance type, I can help you narrow down what price range to expect and where to look for the best-cost option.
