[Milton Ota]

Hello,
I was told by my doctor that you would have to be testing 4 or more 
times a day to qualify under Medicare to be able to get the Dexcom G6 
under Medicare coverage.
I'm not sure how much Medicare covers but I still have not received a 
bill from Dexcom or US Med the supplier of the Dexcom to me that 
Medicare referred.
You should talk with your doctor/Endocrinologist or Diabetes Educator. 
If you are only talking with a regular doctor, they might not all of 
this stuff.
