No. Blood glucose monitoring (BGM) supplies are not included in the CGM product shipments because Dexcom G6 and Dexcom G7 do not require fingerstick calibrations.* Any BGM testing supplies need to be purchased.
*If your patient’s glucose alerts and readings from the Dexcom G6 or Dexcom G7 do not match symptoms or expectations, please use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions.
How does my patient view glucose data?
You can view your patient’s glucose data through the Dexcom G6 or Dexcom G7 Apps, your Dexcom G6 or Dexcom G7 receiver, and the Clarity Mobile or Desktop applications.
Medicare does not cover Dexcom G6 or Dexcom G7 CGM supplies that are used only with a smartphone or other mobile device. Failure to use your receiver will result in loss of Medicare coverage for your Dexcom G6 or Dexcom G7 CGM supplies.
