Why is my CGM suddenly not covered anymore?
I’m genuinely confused and wondering if anyone else has dealt with this.
I’ve been using a CGM (Dexcom G7) for a while now and it was covered before with no issues. Same insurance, same prescription, same doctor.
Now suddenly:
- the pharmacy says it’s not covered
- insurance says it needs prior authorization
- another rep told me it has to go through DME instead of pharmacy benefits
- and the supplier quoted me almost $900 out of pocket
I’ve spent hours calling insurance, the pharmacy, and suppliers and I still don’t understand what actually changed.
Has anyone else dealt with this before? Did your insurance randomly switch CGMs from pharmacy coverage to DME? Or is this maybe a deductible issue?
Honestly managing diabetes is already exhausting enough without having to become an insurance expert too.
