That’s just wrong. When I had my knee replacement last summer the doctor prescribed me 30 days of Eliquis. When I went to pick up the script they wanted $850 for 30 pills, so I asked the doctor if there was another blood thinner I could take that my part D insurance would cover. I was given a 30 day supply of the generic Lovenox instead, which was 60 prefilled syringes that cost me $200. It sure would have been nice to take one pill per day for a month instead of having to inject myself twice per day. But being the frugal New Englander that I am, I did the injections to save $650.
