Is the G6 covered by Medicare?

Dexcom G6® CGM System will be covered for Medicare beneficiaries, having met the category requirements for therapeutic CGM systems by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Coverage for therapeutic CGM includes certain beneficiaries who have either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and intensively manage their insulin.

We encourage customers to get started with Dexcom G5 now as they’ll be automatically upgraded when G6 becomes available and they’re out of warranty on their Dexcom G5 transmitter.
