Xarelto costs $500+ without insurance. Learn how to save with coupons, the Xarelto withMe card, Medicare pricing, patient assistance, and more in 2026.

Xarelto Is Expensive — But You Don't Have to Pay Full Price

Let's start with the number that keeps patients up at night: Xarelto costs approximately $500 to $650 per month without insurance. For a medication you may need to take every single day for the rest of your life, that adds up to $6,000 to $7,800 per year.

The good news? Almost nobody needs to pay that full amount. Between manufacturer savings programs, Medicare pricing changes, discount cards, and patient assistance programs, there are real ways to bring your Xarelto costs down dramatically — sometimes to $0.

In this guide, we'll walk through every major option available in 2026, with specific dollar amounts and practical steps.

How Much Does Xarelto Cost Without Insurance?

Without any insurance or discounts, here's what you can expect to pay at the pharmacy counter:

  • Xarelto 20 mg (30 tablets): $500-$650 per month
  • Xarelto 15 mg (30 tablets): $500-$650 per month
  • Xarelto 10 mg (30 tablets): $500-$650 per month
  • Xarelto 2.5 mg (60 tablets): $500-$650 per month
  • Generic Rivaroxaban 2.5 mg (60 tablets): $45-$80 per month with coupons

These prices vary by pharmacy. Retail prices at chain pharmacies tend to be at the higher end, while independent pharmacies and warehouse clubs (like Costco) may offer slightly lower cash prices.

Coupons and Discount Cards

If you're paying cash or have a high-deductible insurance plan, discount cards are one of the fastest ways to save on Xarelto.

GoodRx

GoodRx is the most widely used prescription discount platform. In 2026, GoodRx shows generic Rivaroxaban 2.5 mg for as low as $45.37 per month. For brand-name Xarelto, GoodRx coupons can reduce the price by 10-20%, though the savings are more modest on expensive brand-name drugs.

SingleCare

SingleCare offers free coupons accepted at most pharmacies. Prices for Rivaroxaban and Xarelto vary by location, but savings of $50-$150 off the cash price are common.

Other Discount Programs

Additional options include:

  • RxSaver — Compare prices across pharmacies
  • Optum Perks — Free discount card with no registration
  • BuzzRx — Discounts accepted at 35,000+ pharmacies
  • ScriptSave WellRx — Average savings of 65% on generic medications

These discount cards cannot be combined with insurance — you use one or the other at the pharmacy counter. They work best for patients who are uninsured, in their deductible period, or whose insurance copay is higher than the discount card price.

Xarelto withMe Savings Card (Manufacturer Copay Card)

This is the single best savings option for commercially insured patients.

The Xarelto withMe Savings Card, offered by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, can reduce your copay to as little as $0 per fill for eligible patients. Here's what you need to know:

  • Eligibility: Patients with commercial (private) insurance who have a valid prescription for Xarelto
  • Not eligible: Patients on Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, or other government-funded insurance
  • How to enroll: Visit xarelto-us.com or janssencarepath.com, or call 1-800-526-7736
  • Savings limit: There is a maximum savings amount per fill and per year (limits may vary)
  • How it works: Present the savings card at the pharmacy along with your insurance card. The savings card covers the remaining copay after insurance pays its portion.

If you have commercial insurance and are paying more than $0-$10 per month for Xarelto, you should absolutely look into this card.

Patient Assistance Programs (Free Medication)

For patients who are uninsured or underinsured and have limited income, the manufacturer offers free medication through patient assistance.

Johnson & Johnson Patient Assistance Foundation

This program provides Xarelto at no cost to qualifying patients. Eligibility is based on:

  • No prescription drug insurance, or insurance that doesn't cover Xarelto
  • Income at or below a certain threshold (typically 300-500% of the Federal Poverty Level)
  • U.S. residency

How to apply:

  1. Call Janssen CarePath at 1-800-526-7736
  2. Or visit janssencarepath.com
  3. Your doctor will need to complete and sign a portion of the application
  4. Processing typically takes 2-4 weeks

  • RxAssist (rxassist.org) — Comprehensive directory of pharmaceutical assistance programs
  • RxHope (rxhope.com) — Helps connect patients with manufacturer programs

Medicare Savings in 2026

If you're on Medicare Part D, 2026 brings significant savings for Xarelto:

Negotiated Price Under the Inflation Reduction Act

Xarelto was one of the first 10 drugs selected for Medicare price negotiation. The result:

  • Negotiated price: $197 per month (for a 30-day supply)
  • Previous list price: ~$517 per month
  • Savings: Approximately 62%

$2,000 Annual Out-of-Pocket Cap

Starting in 2026, Medicare Part D includes a $2,000 annual cap on out-of-pocket prescription drug costs. Once you reach this limit, you pay nothing more for the rest of the year. For patients taking Xarelto and other medications, this cap provides a meaningful safety net.

Medicare Prescription Payment Plan

Medicare now also offers the option to spread your out-of-pocket costs evenly across the year, rather than paying more during the deductible period. Ask your Part D plan about monthly payment options.

Other Ways to Save on Xarelto

Ask About 90-Day Supplies

Many pharmacies and insurance plans offer a lower per-dose cost when you fill a 90-day supply instead of 30 days. Mail-order pharmacies especially tend to offer 90-day pricing that saves $20-$100 compared to three separate 30-day fills.

Compare Pharmacy Prices

Prices for the same medication can vary by $50-$200 between pharmacies in the same zip code. Use tools like GoodRx, Medfinder, or your insurance plan's pharmacy finder to compare before you fill.

Consider the Generic (If Your Dose Allows)

If you take Xarelto 2.5 mg (for coronary artery disease or peripheral artery disease), the generic Rivaroxaban 2.5 mg is available for as low as $45 per month with a GoodRx coupon. Ask your doctor if the generic is appropriate for your prescription.

Warehouse Club Pharmacies

You don't need a Costco membership to use their pharmacy (in most states). Costco and Sam's Club pharmacies often have competitive cash prices on brand-name and generic medications.

State Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs (SPAPs)

Many states offer their own prescription assistance programs for residents who meet certain income or age criteria. Check with your state's department of health or aging services to see what's available.

Final Thoughts

Xarelto is an expensive medication, but you have more options than you might think. Between the Xarelto withMe savings card, Medicare's negotiated price, patient assistance programs, and discount cards, most patients can significantly reduce what they pay — and some can get it for free.

The key is knowing which programs you qualify for and taking the time to enroll. Start with the Xarelto withMe card if you have commercial insurance, or call Janssen CarePath at 1-800-526-7736 if you need help figuring out your best option.
