Prior authorization
If your insurance plan needs prior authorization before approving coverage of ELIQUIS, representatives can help coordinate the process among your doctors, insurer, and pharmacist, and get the paperwork submitted.
Formulary exception requests
A formulary is an insurance company’s list of covered medications. Some insurance plans may not cover ELIQUIS, or will ask that a formulary exception request be submitted. Our live agents can provide general information regarding the exception process to help you and your healthcare prescriber. If your prescriber is unable to get ELIQUIS approved, and if you are eligible, we will refer you to other co-pay assistance programs or the patient assistance program.
