Appeal Your Dexcom CGM Denial

When finger sticks are not enough, Dexcom can be medically necessary.

Understanding Your Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitor Denial

Common Reasons for Denial

! Not enough documented hypoglycemia episodes
! Insufficient evidence of multiple daily insulin injections
! Use for type 2 diabetes questioned
! Preference for a different CGM
