Manitoba Public Coverage
Who qualifies?
Manitobans of all ages living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes currently on both basal and bolus insulin or using an insulin pump may be eligible for Dexcom rtCGM coverage.
Both Dexcom G6 and Dexcom G7 rtCGM system are eligible benefits under Manitoba Pharmacare.
How do I get coverage?
If you believe you or your loved one meet the program criteria, obtain a prescription for Dexcom G6 or Dexcom G7 from your doctor. Take your prescription to your local pharmacy and present it to your pharmacist who will then verify your eligibility. Once confirmed, they will submit a claim for coverage with Manitoba Pharmacare on your behalf and dispense your Dexcom CGM supplies.
What if I have private insurance?
Manitobans are encouraged to enroll to Pharmacare, even those with private insurance.
When enrolled in Pharmacare and eligible for CGM coverage:
- Your pharmacist will direct bill Pharmacare first, which will determine if you have reached your annual deductible amount.
- If the deductible is not met, Pharmacare will not pay and the claim will charged to your private insurance plan.
- If the deductible is met Pharamcare will cover 100% of costs.
How do I order my CGM supplies?
Once you have a prescription from your doctor, you will be able to order your Dexcom CGM supplies from your local pharmacy.
Unless you have private insurance, you will be required to pay out-of-pocket until your Pharmacare deductible has been met for the year. Manitobans receiving Employment and Income Assistance will not be required to pay any out-of-pocket costs.
How long will I be covered?
Coverage may be continued as long as the eligibility criteria continues to be met.
