Search “Eliquis coupon” and you will find dozens of sites offering 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.
This page explains the two tracks, who qualifies for each, what each one actually costs, and where to go if neither fits — so you can stop collecting coupons that don’t apply to you and use the one that does.
Eliquis coupons split into two tracks that cannot be combined. If you have commercial (private) insurance, the Bristol Myers Squibb Co-Pay Card can drop your cost to as little as $10 per 30-day fill. If you are uninsured, third-party discount cards (SingleCare, GoodRx) lower the cash price but cannot be used with any insurance. If you have Medicare or Medicaid, federal law blocks you from the manufacturer card entirely — your savings come from elsewhere.
- The manufacturer copay card and third-party discount cards 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 (federal anti-kickback law).
- Discount cards (SingleCare, GoodRx) cannot be combined with any insurance — they offer a cash price instead.
- If the discount cash price is lower than your insurance copay, you may choose to pay cash for that fill — but you cannot stack the two.
- Uninsured patients who meet income limits may get Eliquis free through the BMS Patient Assistance Foundation — often cheaper than any discount card.
- New commercially insured patients may qualify for a one-time 30-day free trial.
The Two Coupon Tracks — and Why You Can Only Use One
Every “Eliquis coupon” you will find online is one of two fundamentally different things. 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 card will be turned away, because that card requires insurance. The coupon that helps you is determined by your coverage, not by which site ranks highest.
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, subject to a $2,000 annual savings maximum.
How to get it
- Register at the official Eliquis savings page (eliquis.bmscustomerconnect.com) 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 patients: Bristol Myers Squibb also offers a one-time 30-day free trial for new, commercially insured Eliquis users. Ask your prescriber for the trial voucher or request it through the savings program.
Track 2: Third-Party Discount Cards (Cash Price)
Discount cards from SingleCare, GoodRx, ScriptSave WellRx 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. A 30-day supply of Eliquis with a discount card typically runs $150 to $400, compared with roughly $520 to $800 at full retail.
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. Federal anti-kickback law prohibits manufacturer copay cards from being used by anyone enrolled in a government program, so the BMS Co-Pay Card is off-limits to Medicare and Medicaid patients — no exceptions. Discount cards are technically usable but cannot be combined with your Part D coverage.
Medicare patients have a different and often better set of tools in 2026: the Medicare-negotiated price for Eliquis, the Part D out-of-pocket cap, and Extra Help (the Low-Income Subsidy). Because this is a common and confusing trap, we cover it in full on a dedicated page.

If You Are Uninsured
A discount card is the obvious first stop, but it may not be the cheapest. Uninsured patients who meet income requirements can receive Eliquis at no cost through the Bristol Myers Squibb Patient Assistance Foundation (bmspaf.org, 1-800-736-0003). For many people this beats every discount-card price, because the medication is free rather than discounted.

Cross-Border Pricing: What to Know
Some coupon sites quietly steer cost-burdened patients toward Canadian or Mexican pharmacies. Here is the honest picture, which most commercial sites will not print because it competes with the card they want you to use.
The apixaban sold in Canada and Mexico is the same molecule as US Eliquis, manufactured to comparable regulatory standards. Reported cash prices from licensed Canadian pharmacies run lower than US retail — roughly $350 to $470 for a 30-day supply, versus about $520 to $800 in the US.
The legal reality: personal importation of prescription drugs into the United States is not authorized by the FDA and sits in a legal gray area. A cross-border price is not a “coupon” and is not a path SunnyPharma sells, supplies, or facilitates. We state the prices here only so the comparison is honest. If you are considering it, discuss it with your clinician, and understand the regulatory status before acting.
Which One Is For You
| Your situation | Use this | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial / employer insurance | BMS Co-Pay Card | as low as $10/mo |
| New & commercially insured | BMS free 30-day trial, then copay card | $0 first month |
| Uninsured, income-eligible | BMS Patient Assistance Foundation | $0 (free) |
| Uninsured, not PAP-eligible | Discount card (cash) | ~$150–$400/mo |
| Medicare / Medicaid | 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 about options before you stop filling it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a coupon for Eliquis?
Yes, but there are two different kinds and you generally cannot use both. The Bristol Myers Squibb Eliquis Co-Pay Card lowers out-of-pocket cost to as little as $10 per 30-day fill, but only for patients with commercial (private) insurance. Separately, third-party discount cards such as SingleCare or GoodRx lower the cash price for people without insurance, but they cannot be combined with any insurance plan. Which coupon applies depends entirely on your coverage.
How do I get the Eliquis manufacturer copay card?
If you have commercial insurance, request the BMS Eliquis Co-Pay Card at the official savings page (eliquis.bmscustomerconnect.com/savings) or by calling 1-855-354-7847. You register to receive the card by email, text, or mail, then present it at the pharmacy with your prescription. Eligible patients can pay as little as $10 per 30-day supply, up to a $2,000 annual savings maximum. New patients may also qualify for a one-time 30-day free trial offer.
Why can’t I use the Eliquis copay card with Medicare?
Federal anti-kickback law prohibits manufacturer copay cards from being used by anyone enrolled in a government health program, including Medicare and Medicaid. This is not a Bristol Myers Squibb restriction; it applies to nearly all brand-drug copay cards. If you have Medicare, the copay card is off the table, but the 2026 Medicare-negotiated price, the Part D out-of-pocket cap, Extra Help, and patient assistance are not.
Can I use an Eliquis discount card if I have insurance?
No. Third-party discount cards (SingleCare, GoodRx, ScriptSave WellRx, 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 much does Eliquis cost with a discount card versus without?
Without insurance or any coupon, Eliquis runs roughly $520 to $800 per month at retail pharmacies depending on dosage and location. A third-party discount card typically brings the cash price down to roughly $150 to $400 for a 30-day supply, varying by card, pharmacy, and quantity. These are cash prices and are separate from the manufacturer copay card, which applies only to commercially insured patients.
Is there a free trial offer for Eliquis?
Bristol Myers Squibb offers a one-time 30-day free trial for new, commercially insured Eliquis patients. Your prescriber can provide the free trial voucher, or you can request it through the official Eliquis savings program. The free trial does not apply to Medicare or Medicaid patients, who are excluded from manufacturer offers by federal law.
What if I am uninsured and cannot afford Eliquis?
Uninsured patients who meet income requirements may receive Eliquis at no cost through the Bristol Myers Squibb Patient Assistance Foundation (bmspaf.org, 1-800-736-0003), which is separate from any coupon or discount card. Discount cards remain an option for those who do not qualify for free medication. A coupon is not the only path; patient assistance often produces a lower cost than any discount card for those who are eligible.
Is Eliquis cheaper from Canada or Mexico?
Apixaban sold abroad is the same molecule as US Eliquis, and reported cash prices from licensed Canadian pharmacies run lower than US retail, roughly $350 to $470 for a 30-day supply versus about $520 to $800 in the US. However, personal importation of prescription drugs into the US is not authorized by the FDA and sits in a legal gray area. SunnyPharma is an education platform and does not sell, supply, or facilitate the purchase of any medication. Discuss any cross-border option with your clinician.
