Ms. H came to us following a referral from her cardiologist. She was concerned about the cost of her newly prescribed medication, Eliquis or apixaban, that helps prevent blood clots so they don’t lead to strokes or heart attacks. Understandably, she was hesitant to begin taking it—worried not just about the cost and potential side effects, but also how it might interact with the supplements she was already using.
During her appointment, one of our pharmacists took the time to review all of her medications – prescription and over-the-counter meds – including her supplement regimen. Together, we were able to simplify and streamline her daily medications, keeping her safety in mind as she prepared to start Eliquis.
We reached out to her local pharmacy and walked them through how to apply our copay assistance card. After a bit of back and forth, success: her prescription was processed for just $20 for a 30-day supply. The list price before Medicare drug benefits and Senior PharmAssist was over $600 a month!
As a part of Ms. H’s care team, we are happy to ensure she has access to the medications she needs while helping her avoid the ones she doesn’t need – all at a price she can afford!
