what to prescribe

Dexcom G6 Components

Patients or caregivers can insert the sensor with the auto-applicator, then snap in the transmitter. Once the sensor code is entered, the transmitter paired, and everything has warmed up, they will be able to view glucose data from the transmitter via a patient's selected display device. The auto-applicator comes pre-loaded with a sensor.

Dexcom G6 Auto-applicator

Provides simple sensor insertion at the push of a button. A patient can apply the sensor on their own by following the instructions for use.

Dexcom G6 Sensor

Monitors interstitial glucose levels through a small wire inserted just underneath the skin, sending a signal to the transmitter (10-day lifespan).

Dexcom G6 Transmitter

Fastened on top of the sensor; sends data wirelessly to the wearer's compatible display device* (3-month lifespan).

PATIENT INSTRUCTIONS

The activation card provides guidance for patients to start the 10-day digital journey; it complements the Dexcom G6 set-up guide and instructions for use.

By submitting the above form, I certify that I am a licensed practitioner, authorized to receive and dispense samples of the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System and/or Dexcom‘s next generation product, Dexcom G7 (the "Samples"). I represent that I am requesting the Samples for evaluation purposes and that I will not (i) sell, resell, barter, return for credit or seek reimbursement for the use of the Samples, or (ii) for professional services for dispensing or evaluating the Samples, I also agree to inform my patients that they should not submit claims for reimbursement to any third party for any Samples.

The Samples are FDA cleared for use with a compatible smart device or separate piece of durable medical equipment called a receiver. Neither devices nor receivers are included in the Samples.

Please note that Medicare will reimburse for sensors only if the beneficiary also uses a receiver covered by Medicare. Accordingly, it is appropriate to give Samples to Medicare patients only if they have (in the case of the G6 Samples) or would be eligible to obtain (in the case of the G7 Samples), a Medicare-covered receiver.

You agree that you will not provide the Samples to any patients that are beneficiaries under the Maine or Colorado state Medicaid programs. I understand that Dexcom will be tracking, and if necessary, reporting and may be subject to disclosure requirements with respect to the provision of these Samples. I agree not to reuse any Samples.
