Potential 2025 Year End Eliquis Savings I wanted to purchase my last batch of Eliquis pills at the end of 2025 so that I could delay paying the large drug deductible in 2026. So, I purchased my last 90 pills of Eliquis today and was surprised to see they were free, $ 0.00. If you are on Eliquis you might want to check your insurance to see if you can do the same, only 2 days remaining in 2025. See my attached receipt. https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200682,200682#msg-200682 Sun, 23 Aug 2026 23:47:58 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200682,200697#msg-200697 Re: Potential 2025 Year End Eliquis Savings https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200682,200697#msg-200697 Not sure this is correct.

This might help here: [www.cms.gov]

The confusion is True Out-of-Pocket is (TrOOP) is what is used for the calculation and TrOOP can be more than what you actually pay.

Keep in mind that to get to $2,000, it's not just what you pay (co-pay), but the drugs total cost.
Not sure this is correct.

"Medicare drug coverage stages
Generally, Medicare drug plans and Medicare Advantage Plans with drug coverage have 3 stages:

Deductible stage: If your Medicare plan has a deductible, you pay all out-of-pocket costs until you reach the full deductible. No Medicare drug plan may have a deductible more than $590 in 2025 ($615 in 2026). Some Medicare drug plans don’t have a deductible.
Initial coverage stage: After you reach your full deductible (if your plan has a deductible), you’ll pay 25% of the cost as coinsurance for your generic and brand-name drugs until your out-of-pocket spending on covered Part D drugs reaches $2,000 in 2025 ($2,100 in 2026) (including certain payments made on your behalf, like through the Extra Help program). Then, you’ll automatically get “catastrophic coverage.”
Catastrophic coverage stage: You won’t have to pay out-of-pocket for covered Part D drugs for the rest of the calendar year."

Claims overview from Past 18 months: Total claims: 7, Total cost: $8080.64, Your total costs: $716.00

And then for my "purchase" today: Service date: 12/29/2025, Total cost: $1559.50, Your cost: $0.00

Was there some recent law passed that gave expensive drugs like Eliquis a lower threshold for when we stop paying? Not sure why insurance is showing me claims from the last 18 months.]]> JakeL AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 30 Dec 2025 05:31:21 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200682,200683#msg-200683 Re: Potential 2025 Year End Eliquis Savings https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200682,200683#msg-200683 Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 30 Dec 2025 03:19:21 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200682,200682#msg-200682 Potential 2025 Year End Eliquis Savings https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200682,200682#msg-200682
