There may be additional
CGM's that are covered
4. Coverage of CGMs under Medicare since this was written 2
years ago.
Medicare will only cover a CGM if the FDA has approved the CGM for use in
diabetes treatment decisions. At the time of this writing, three CGMs have
received such approval from the FDA and been granted coverage under Medicare:
the Dexcom G5, G6 and the Abbott FreeStyle Libre.
Medicare allows the use of a smart device in conjunction with a CGM system
receiver, so you can use it to review data yourself, or share it with others.
