    I'm curious..... what rationale did the RAI coordinator use when differentiating between Xeralto and Plavix? WHy is one code-able and not the other?

    apparently palvix is not warfarin based and Xeralto is???

    Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) is classified as an anti-coagulant just like warfarin and clopidogrel (Plavix) is classified as an anti-platelet drug. Always go with proper classifications and not what the drug was ordered for. Hope this helps.

    Anticoagulant works with clotting factors, not just platelets as ASA and Plavix. christinaxrn hit the nail on the head!
