Drug price hike at refill time

Reply

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 🤬

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.
