[Diabetes-Talk] G6 finally ordered

[Rick Mladek]

A tip, have your Endocrinologist, not your General Practitioner, submit the
prescription. The specialist writing the said prescription is best for such
needs. Do not talk to the insurance Company yourself, the Doctor is
experienced in knowing how to get scripts approved.

The answer depends on your plan, straight Medicare? Other insurance? All
co-pays and deductables vary. As for proving you've tried other meters
first? Never heard that one and it doesn't make sense. Dexcom isn't for
people who couldn't get control with meters. It's for people who want better
control. Period. I have heard of insurance companies trying to refuse to pay
for various technologies because someone's A1C was good enough. Just stupid.
You need a chat with the people at Dexcom, as Doula said. They have people
who really know Medicare and other insurance.

Hi Mary,

     I'd suggest calling the company, because I don't know the answer to
that.  I had been using a standard glucometer before getting my Dexcom.  I
do know that currently I don't have any copays.
