Insurance Coverage – Continuous Glucose Monitors
Real-Time continuous glucose monitoring is a brand new therapy. As such, it’s not yet covered by most insurance companies.
At this time, the Guardian® Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring System components – the monitor, the transmitter, and the glucose sensors – are an out-of-pocket expense. However, Medtronic Diabetes is continuing to build the clinical evidence and work with insurance companies to obtain coverage for this exciting technology.
Although Medtronic Diabetes is unable to process insurance claims for you today, we have included information and links that may assist you in requesting reimbursement directly from your insurance company, should you choose to pursue coverage from them in the future.
When you are working with your insurance company, you will need a letter of medical necessity, as well as clinical studies, information, and FDA approval letters for the Guardian Real-Time System. All of these are posted at the Medtronic Diabetes Website.
Information on this site should not be used as a substitute for talking with your doctor. Always talk with your doctor about diagnosis and treatment information.
