Search for an Eliquis coupon and you will find dozens of sites promising to cut your price by up to 80%. What almost none of them tell you plainly is that there are two completely different kinds of Eliquis savings — and which one you can use depends entirely on your insurance. Pick the wrong one and you either get turned away at the pharmacy counter or leave money on the table. SunnyPharma is an independent health education platform; we do not sell medication, and we have no discount card to push. Every price on this page is drawn from Bristol Myers Squibb’s own program terms.
This page explains the two tracks, who qualifies for each, what each actually costs, and — the part most sites get wrong — the one manufacturer offer a Medicare patient really can use.
Eliquis savings split into two tracks that cannot be combined. With commercial (private) insurance, the Bristol Myers Squibb Co-Pay Card drops your cost to as little as $10 per 30-day fill. If you are uninsured, the BMS Direct-to-Patient program sells a 30-day supply (60 tablets) for $345 with free delivery. If you have Medicare or Medicaid, both the copay card and the direct program exclude you by law or by policy — but the one-time Free 30-Day Trial does not, and most sites get that wrong.
Most Eliquis coupon pages tell Medicare patients they are shut out of every Bristol Myers Squibb offer. That is mostly true — but not completely, and the exception can be worth a free month of medication.
The copay card is barred for Medicare and Medicaid by federal anti-kickback law, and the Direct-to-Patient program excludes Medicare Part D by BMS policy. But the one-time Free 30-Day Trial is a separate offer with no insurance requirement in its official terms. Per BMS’s own conditions, eligibility is simply that you have never filled an Eliquis prescription, have a valid 30-day prescription, and are being treated for more than 35 days. A Medicare patient new to Eliquis can use it once. The terms even spell out that the trial cannot be counted toward your Medicare out-of-pocket total — which only makes sense because Medicare patients are allowed to use it.
If a site told you Medicare means no manufacturer help at all, that is the mistake. Ask your prescriber for the Free 30-Day Trial voucher at the appointment where Eliquis is first prescribed.
- The manufacturer copay card and cash-pay options are mutually exclusive — one is for the insured, the other replaces insurance for that fill.
- The BMS Co-Pay Card requires commercial insurance; it cannot be used by anyone on Medicare or Medicaid.
- The BMS Direct-to-Patient program is $345 for a 30-day supply with free delivery — for uninsured and self-pay patients only, not Medicare.
- The Free 30-Day Trial has no insurance requirement — new-to-Eliquis Medicare patients can use it once, contrary to what most sites claim.
- Income-eligible patients (at or below 400% of the federal poverty level) may get Eliquis free through the BMS Patient Assistance Foundation — cheaper than any card or cash price.
The Two Savings Tracks — and Why You Can Only Use One
Every “Eliquis coupon” online is one of two fundamentally different things, and telling them apart is the whole game. They look similar — both are cards you show at the pharmacy — but they work in opposite ways and serve opposite groups of people.
The reason this matters: a patient with commercial insurance who grabs a SingleCare card is usually paying more than they would with the manufacturer copay card. And an uninsured patient hunting for the manufacturer copay card will be turned away, because that card requires insurance. The route that helps you is determined by your coverage, not by which site ranks highest.
A note from the reviewer
If you have insurance through work, check the copay card first, not last. It’s the simplest thing on this page and it’s the one people leave until they’ve already overpaid for months.

Track 1: The Bristol Myers Squibb Manufacturer Copay Card
If you have commercial (private or employer) insurance, this is almost always your cheapest route. The Eliquis Co-Pay Card from Bristol Myers Squibb reduces your out-of-pocket cost to as little as $10 per 30-day supply. For 90-day fills, it is as little as $10 for your first 90-day supply and as little as $30 for subsequent 90-day refills, for up to 24 months, subject to a $2,000 maximum annual benefit.
How to get it
- Register at the official Eliquis savings page (eliquis.bmscustomerconnect.com/savings) or call 1-855-354-7847 (1-855-ELIQUIS).
- Request the card by email, text, or mail.
- Present it at the pharmacy with your prescription, and tell the pharmacist you have a savings offer before they process the fill.
New to Eliquis? Bristol Myers Squibb also offers a one-time Free 30-Day Trial (up to 74 tablets at no cost). Unlike the copay card, the trial does not require commercial insurance — see the box above. Ask your prescriber for the trial voucher at the appointment where Eliquis is first prescribed.
Track 2: Cash-Pay Options for the Uninsured
If you have no insurance, you have two distinct routes — and the manufacturer’s own direct program is often the simplest.
BMS Direct-to-Patient: $345 with free delivery
Bristol Myers Squibb sells Eliquis directly to uninsured and self-paying patients through its Direct-to-Patient program (part of Eliquis 360 Support): a 30-day supply of 60 tablets for $345, plus any taxes or fees, with free home delivery in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories. It cuts out pharmacy markup and requires no card. Medicare Part D patients are not eligible for this program — BMS directs them to Medicare options instead.
Third-party discount cards
Discount cards from SingleCare, GoodRx and similar services are not insurance and not manufacturer programs — they negotiate a cash price with pharmacies and pass part of the discount to you. At recent prices, SingleCare worked out to roughly $312 for a 30-day supply (its listed price is about $156 for 28 tablets, which is a two-week supply at the standard dose), and prices change daily and by pharmacy. Because the discount card and the $345 direct program land close together, it is worth comparing both before you fill.
The catch: a discount card cannot be combined with any insurance. You are choosing the cash price instead of running it through your plan. Occasionally that cash price is lower than your insurance copay — in which case paying cash is the smart move — but you cannot stack a discount card on top of insurance or on top of the manufacturer copay card.
If You Have Medicare
This is where the most expensive mistake happens. Two manufacturer options are closed to you: the copay card (barred by federal anti-kickback law) and the Direct-to-Patient program (Medicare Part D is excluded by BMS policy). But as the box near the top of this page explains, the one-time Free 30-Day Trial is a separate offer you can use if you are new to Eliquis.
Beyond that first free month, Medicare patients have a different and often better set of tools in 2026: the Medicare-negotiated price for Eliquis is $231 for a 30-day supply — though note this is what the government pays, and what you actually pay is set by your Part D plan. On top of that, your total 2026 Part D out-of-pocket is capped at $2,100 for the year, and Extra Help (the Low-Income Subsidy) can bring cost to $0–$12.65 per month. Because this is a common and confusing trap, we cover it in full on a dedicated page.

If You Cannot Afford Any of These
Income-eligible patients can get Eliquis at no cost — which beats every price on this page. The Bristol Myers Squibb Patient Assistance Foundation (bmspaf.org, 1-800-736-0003) provides Eliquis free to patients who are U.S. residents, treated as outpatients, and have a household income at or below 400% of the federal poverty level (about $45,180 for a single person or $61,320 for a family of two, adjusted for larger households). You must be uninsured or on Medicare — commercial insurance that covers Eliquis makes you ineligible, and Medicare patients aged 65+ under 150% of the poverty level are asked to first show they were denied Extra Help. For those who qualify, this is the cheapest option that exists, because the medication is free rather than discounted.

Your coverage decides your cheapest route — find your row below.
| Your situation | Use this | Typical cost (30-day) |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial / employer insurance | BMS Co-Pay Card | as low as $10 |
| New to Eliquis (any coverage) | BMS Free 30-Day Trial, once | $0 first month |
| Income-eligible (uninsured or Medicare) | BMS Patient Assistance Foundation | $0 (free) |

| Medicare / Medicaid (ongoing) | Negotiated price, Part D cap, Extra Help | see Medicare guide |
No patient should skip doses of a blood thinner because of cost — stopping Eliquis abruptly carries a boxed warning for clot and stroke risk. If none of the routes above brings the price within reach, call BMS at 1-855-354-7847 or speak with your prescriber or pharmacist before you stop filling it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a coupon for Eliquis?
Yes, but there are two kinds and you generally cannot use both. The Bristol Myers Squibb Eliquis Co-Pay Card lowers cost to as little as $10 per 30-day fill, but only for patients with commercial (private) insurance. For the uninsured, the BMS Direct-to-Patient program sells a 30-day supply (60 tablets) for $345 with free delivery, and discount cards such as SingleCare offer a cash price. Which option applies depends entirely on your coverage.
Can Medicare patients use any Eliquis manufacturer offer?
Yes, one: the Free 30-Day Trial. Most websites wrongly state that Medicare patients are shut out of all Bristol Myers Squibb offers. That is true of the copay card and the Direct-to-Patient program, both of which exclude Medicare. But the Free 30-Day Trial has no insurance requirement in its official terms, so a Medicare patient who has never filled Eliquis can use it once. After that, Medicare patients rely on the 2026 negotiated price, the $2,100 Part D out-of-pocket cap, and Extra Help.
How much does the Eliquis copay card actually save?
For commercially insured patients, the BMS Co-Pay Card lowers cost to as little as $10 for a 30-day supply, or $10 for a first 90-day supply and as little as $30 for later 90-day refills, for up to 24 months. The program has a $2,000 maximum annual benefit and cannot be used with Medicare, Medicaid, VA, or TRICARE. Register at the official BMS savings page or call 1-855-354-7847.
What is the cheapest way to get Eliquis without insurance?
If you are income-eligible, the Bristol Myers Squibb Patient Assistance Foundation provides Eliquis free, which beats every cash price. If you do not qualify, compare the BMS Direct-to-Patient price of $345 for a 30-day supply (60 tablets) against a discount card such as SingleCare, which works out to roughly $312 for a 30-day equivalent at recent prices. Both are well below typical retail cash prices, which run around $600 or more for 60 tablets.
Can I use an Eliquis discount card if I have insurance?
No. Third-party discount cards (SingleCare, GoodRx, and similar) cannot be combined with any insurance, including Medicare. They replace insurance for that fill by offering a cash price. Occasionally the discount cash price is lower than your insurance copay, in which case you may choose to pay the cash price instead, but you cannot stack the two.
How we reviewed this article:
Ray Ashton researched and wrote this guide using Bristol Myers Squibb’s own primary sources — the Eliquis pricing page, the copay card and Free 30-Day Trial official terms, the Direct-to-Patient program page, and the BMS Patient Assistance Foundation application form — along with CMS Medicare Drug Price Negotiation data and current SingleCare and GoodRx pricing. Every dollar figure on this page traces to one of those sources. Dr. Aun-Yeong Chong, a cardiologist, reviewed the clinical and access content, including the boxed-warning caution against stopping anticoagulation for cost.
