When Does Medicare Cover XARELTO?

If you receive health care coverage through Original Medicare (Part A and Part B), XARELTO is not covered by Medicare Part B. Original Medicare does not typically cover prescriptions.

There are 2 options you may be able to consider for Medicare prescription drug coverage:

• You may be able to enroll in a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan that covers Xarelto.

• There may be Medicare Advantage plans in your area that include Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage. One of these Part C plans may cover Xarelto.
  
  According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 89% of 2024 Medicare Advantage plans cover prescription drugs.¹

The availability, costs and the drugs that are covered by Part D plans and Medicare Advantage plans may vary  based on where you live.

How Much Does XARELTO Cost With Medicare?

According to GoodRx, the average copay costs for XARELTO averaged anywhere from $19 to $21 in the deductible coverage phase for Medicare prescription drug plans in 2023.²

Because Medicare Part D plans and Medicare Advantage plans are sold by private insurance companies, your XARELTO coverage and costs can vary.

Your copay and deductible costs for any prescription drug can vary depending on what coverage stage you’re in and what type of Medicare drug plan you have.
