[Diabetes-Talk] cost

Tue Nov 12 04:35:30 UTC 2019

Hi Gary,
When I was paying with cash and on automatic reorder I was given a discount.
The cost of the sensors was $292 a month from Dexcom but, I found the
transmitters were dramatically less in cost at the Costco pharmacy!    I
have not purchased a transmitter since April,  I am not sure of the exact
cost but it was around $30, for the 90 day transmitter.   
Now, Medicare covers the cost and I have not received a bill for the
difference yet.  Veronica said it would be around $54 a month for the
supplies.
Warmly, Joy

Hello!
Please stop spreading rumors on this list!  I purchased Dexcom G6 sensors
and transmitters this summer at my local Costco store and I even mentioned
the accurate price to you all!  If you are not using the Dexcom G6 please,
please do not answer these questions!
Joy

Do you know for a fact that Walgreens will supply Dexcom? With the G6, a
sensor lasts 14 days, I believe. With the G5 it only lasts 7 days. I would
contact Walgreens and specifically ask if it will supply Dexcom sensors for
you. You also need the transmittors. So, you use a sensor which lasts 14
days, the transmitter which attaches to the sensor and lasts 3 months, and
the receiver, which looks like an iPhone that reads glucose output and lasts
a year. But again, the receiver is completely inaccessible for blind people.

out of cost for the dex com g six for me not the machine with it is
$400 the machine is $295.
You get three cencers in a kit.
Is this so, and I will have to see if my insurance will cover some of this.
I sure couldn't pay $400 every month, if a cencer lasts a week.
How did you get around that.
Wall greens said that I should get wallmart to get this since I get all of
my medicines over there.
Just some thoughts.
