How this was calculated

Matched each Medicaid product code to the FDA NDC Directory by labeler and product code, kept finished single-ingredient products, then summed prescriptions and reimbursement by state. National roll-up and suppressed rows dropped.

Scope: Eliquis only (brand-name apixaban), fee-for-service and managed care, 2025

Counts under 11 are suppressed by CMS and left out, so totals are a floor. Amounts are before rebates. Differences between states reflect programme size and coverage rules. Compounded products are not included.

How this was calculated

Matched NADAC product codes to the FDA NDC Directory, kept finished single-ingredient products, and listed the product descriptions with the most package codes. The earlier price is the same package code in the file one year before.

Scope: Eliquis (brand-name apixaban) in the weekly NADAC file of 2026-11-11, compared with the file of 2025-11-12

NADAC is the average invoice price retail pharmacies pay, from a voluntary survey. It leaves out rebates, dispensing fees and markups, and it is not what a patient or insurer pays. Compounded products are not surveyed.
