Real-time glucose data can prevent dangerous highs and lows.

Appeal Your Dexcom CGM Denial

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

Understanding Your Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitor Denial

Dexcom CGMs are denied when plans claim that traditional glucose monitoring is sufficient, or that criteria like multiple daily injections are not clearly documented. Appeals can show how Dexcom improves safety and control.

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

How We Help

We help you compile logs of lows, highs, and variability, plus your insulin regimen, to demonstrate why Dexcom’s continuous data is necessary.

Some Types of Evidence We Can Use For Supporting Your Appeal

Continuous glucose monitoring reduces hypoglycemia and improves glycemic control compared with finger-stick monitoring alone.

Real-time CGM data allow earlier intervention for rising or falling glucose levels.
