About Xarelto, XARELTO and its cost
What is this medication? Xarelto is a prescription medication known as an anticoagulant, or blood thinner, that contains the active ingredient rivaroxaban. It is primarily used to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in adults with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Additionally, healthcare providers prescribe this medication to treat deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, as well as to help prevent these blood clots from occurring again after initial treatment.
This medication is also commonly used to prevent the formation of blood clots in patients who have recently undergone hip or knee replacement surgery. Furthermore, it may be used in combination with aspirin to reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks or strokes, in individuals with chronic coronary artery disease or peripheral artery disease. By blocking specific clotting proteins in the blood, Xarelto helps maintain healthy blood flow throughout the body.
Xarelto, XARELTO is made by Janssen. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.
Common questions
What's the cheapest way to afford Xarelto, XARELTO?
It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.
Can I use a copay card with Medicare for Xarelto, XARELTO?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Janssen has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Xarelto, XARELTO?
Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.
How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?
Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.
What if I have a high-deductible plan?
For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.
Are there charity grants for Atrial Fibrillation?
Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
