I just got refill of xarelto...$360 for 3 month supply. That is a hike of 200% from previous refill. Does anyone know the reason for this outrageous price hike 🤬

Xarelto is one of those drugs that Medicare negotiated a new price for in 2024 and this price becomes effective in 2026 but the price you are paying now is even lower than that.

If you are buying your drugs under a Medicare Part D plan or one that is included in a Medicare Advantage plan then Plan designs affect the insurance program.  Your deductible, if any, where you buy your drugs also makes a difference in price.

 

The best place to ask your question would be to your Prescription Drug Plan insurer.
