Hi All,
I am going to bite my budget for now and purchase the Dexcom G6 without the
help of Medicare.  I spoke to the sales Rep for my area and the cash price
for the first month cost is $1200.00 and the cost of the censors is about
$295 every 3 months.  
The Dexcom G6 cash price is less in price then the previous models.

Medicare will cover the Dexcom. The question is whether or not you will be
able to use it because they want you to use the receiver and not the iPhone
app. I am hopeful that this will change soon but it's not there yet. As best
as I can figure, the cost of sensors would run about 250 bucks for a
three-month supply. You'd get a new transmitter every 6 months and I'm not
finding its price yet. The initial cost would include the receiver which we
cannot access. But hey, maybe this will be sorted out by the time you get
through the paper work. I sure hope so.

I will ask about this because I was just at the doc, and both doc and
educator said Medicare still won't cover it. I'm also hoping for the G6
model coming out soon.

Medicare  will pay for Dexcom.  My endocrinologist put in the paperwork and
I had it in a couple of weeks time.  Call Dexcom and ask them for a
distributor that will work with your insurance.  Then contact the
distributor and they will send the paper work to the doc and the doc's
office can fax it back to the distributor.  The fact is the doctor has to
fill out the paper work on the form that is sent from the distributor.

As I suggested get the name of  the person in the doctor's office that works
with the insurance.

Does anyone know the out-of-pocket cost for Dexcom? It's a long story, but
I'm back to just Medicare, and I'm tired of missing out on tech that can
improve my diabetes, so, I might just pay out-of-pocket for now. But I need
to figure out the monthly costs.

I am just so happy for you, Joyce. And if I've done anything to aid in the
process, that makes my day. I hope the rewards continue for you and boy, it
really would have been nice if we could have had access to this ten years
ago. Please keep us posted and chime in any ol' time.

I did get my second report this last Sunday and it was much more detailed
then the first one.  I am guessing that it didn't have enough information
the first time I got it.  I must have not set it up correctly when I first
got the Dexcom.

Wow!!!  I  can't tell you how much I appreciate all this information.  I
truly believe it will turn my numbers around.

PS:  I do not think I will ever get down in those ranges, but if I get below
or closer to 8  that will be a double Wow for me.

Hi Joyce and others.
Okay, found it! In the Clarity app, go to settings. In there you can choose
whether notifications are emailed to you or sent to your phone, mostly on
Sundays. This didn't turn up when I set up my app, but there it is, a simple
switch button. 
Thanks.
