I have a 73yr old female client in SC. She is currently on Plan F, would like to move to Plan G for the savings if possible. She is taking Eloquis, Crestor, Synthroid, Metoprolol, and Lexipro. Had a cardiac ablation just over one year ago to correct AFIB and has had no issues since. Any chance I can help her?

probs not. Last A-fib event? If within the last 2 years, or any meds adjustments you'll be hard pressed to find anyone
Eliquis isn't a KO since it is used for those who have/had AFib?

Lumico would be a DQ because of the blood thinner. Everest would look at it as a maintenence drug if diagnosed over 2 years ago and no change in meds and no episode in past 2 years.

Not my expertise, but can she move within the company down to a plan G from an F?
Eliquis is maintenance for AFIB and I have had success with Everest and Medico with this
Everest took on recently had several meds for Afib one I never heard of besides Blood thinner and took maintenance for a stent as well
Does have to be stable no change in meds for a period Not sure if 1 year or 2
I only heard Lumico was working with Afib and had planned on picking them up at the end of the year but If they don't take Blood thinner then it's useless
Yes I take xarelto myself
With Afib they need to take a blood thinner
So it would be a maintenance for Afib If a company won't take blood thinner then they don't work with Afib

Lumico doesn't list Xarelato or Eliquis as a KO and they take AFIB case by case. I'd call UW and ask. Lumico is pretty competitive and worth the shot.
