I haven't followed all of this, but over the weekend I was speaking to
Dexcom support and I did ask when we were able to trade up the 5g Dexcom?
As I got my Dexcom 5g in April of 2018 and I had read that the people who
got the Dexcom 5 Gafter a date in March would be eligible for a free upgrade
to the Dexcom 6.  The tech person from Dexcom asked me if I had Medicare and
he told me that the Medicare has not approved the Dexcom 6  and that is
another delay.

Did you get the refusal for the Dexcom 5  or Dexcom 6?

I would not delay and get the Dexcom 5  ASAP instead of doing without any.

Gary, just curious. Did your insurance denial say why it was denied. I'm not
sure that you have any other accessible option. This is one place where your
endo should go to bat for you against the insurance company. I'm so sorry
you are ending up in this position. Frankly, I think having a CGM and its
resulting improvements in control would ultimately save insurance companies
so much money that they should be given out for free. But then, I don't run
the world. Yet! <grin.> I do have some possible ideas for you but they do
depend on the reason for your insurance company's denial. Please keep us
posted and don't give up.

Hello question for group.i have been denyed by my insurance for future
dexcom transmitters  and senssors.i would like to continue to  have the
dexcom transmitter and  sensor andt they are a bit pricy when I contacted
dexcom.any other solutions  that I can come up  with till I can figure out
what I want to  do .if I will continue with the dexcom or switch to another
cgm solution as means of having to pay out of pocket for all this.this is
not a good thing for me at this stage as I have had a bunch of financial
hardship in  the past few months as well as a few other health set backs
with my diabetes management  as well.what to do.need some helpful advice.
