VA eligibility criteria*

Providers prescribing CGM devices for Veterans must confirm and document the Veteran has been diagnosed with diabetes and is being treated with daily insulin. Veterans taking insulin daily are eligible for a CGM device. It is recommended that CGM be considered under the following circumstances:

	The Veteran requires daily insulin to achieve desired glycemic management targets and/or avoid hypoglycemia based on shared decision-making, as recommended by the VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Diabetes Mellitus.
	The Veteran has an uncommon condition in which hypoglycemia is a significant concern (for example, post-gastrectomy, paraneoplastic syndromes, and reactive hypoglycemia). These Veterans may be considered on a case-by-case basis by the endocrinology subject matter expert at the VISN or facility.
	It is documented that the Veteran has the knowledge and skill set necessary to successfully utilize CGMs, including an understanding of the need to do self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) for calibration as recommended by the manufacturer, and to evaluate “high” or “low” blood glucose results or trends based upon readings and/or alarms as recommended by the FDA and the treating healthcare team.
	It is documented that the Veteran has followed provider recommendations for SMBG and therapy changes. This will assist providers with determining potential adherence with CGMs, which is essential in achieving improved outcomes.
	The Veteran agrees to ongoing medical appointments with the multidisciplinary team at least every 6 months (more frequently as recommended) to assess the adherence and benefit derived from CGMs, which will be documented in the medical record and used for justification for continued use.

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.

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.
