How to Get a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)

Covered by Insurance or Medicare [Step-by-Step Guide]


Skip the finger sticks—your health plan may cover a smarter way to manage

diabetes.

Living with diabetes is already challenging enough—tracking your blood sugar shouldn’t add to the stress. That’s why more people are switching to Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs)—small, wearable devices that track glucose levels in real time, with no fingersticks and no guesswork.


💡 What is a CGM?

A continuous glucose monitor is a small device (like the Dexcom or Libre) that attaches to your body and automatically measures your glucose levels throughout the day and night. You can view your readings instantly on your smartphone or reader—no finger pricks, no test strips.


Key Benefits

● Instant notifications of highs and lows.


● Better monitoring of your blood sugar.


● Information you can share with your healthcare provider.


● More confidence in your life and activities.



✅ Who Qualifies for a CGM?

Eligibility can vary slightly by insurer, but in general, you

may qualify if:


● You have Type 1 or insulin-dependent Type 2 diabetes

● You test your blood sugar 3+ times per day

● You use multiple daily injections or an insulin pump

● You have a valid prescription or doctor’s order

For Medicare patients, you no longer need to prove frequent testing with logs.

Medicare updated its guidelines to make CGMs more accessible.


🏥 What Insurance Plans Cover CGMs?

The good news? Many plans do.


● Medicare Part B covers CGMs as durable medical equipment (DME) if you meet the criteria.

● Medicare Advantage (like Aetna or UHC Medicare plans) follow the same rules

● Private/commercial insurance plans often cover CGMs with a prescription


We’ll help you check your coverage—no guesswork, no endless phone calls.
