About Continuous Glucose Monitors and Medicare coverage
Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) measure interstitial fluid glucose every 1-5 minutes and transmit readings wirelessly to a receiver or smartphone. Medicare Part B covers CGMs under HCPCS E2103 for beneficiaries who use insulin and have a documented history that self-monitoring is not providing adequate control. Coverage includes the CGM system (transmitter/receiver) and an ongoing supply of sensors. Most Phoenix-area endocrinologists are familiar with the CMS therapeutic CGM criteria — we handle the prior authorization directly with your prescriber.
"I'm a veteran and was confused about whether VA or Medicare covered my supplies. They sorted it out with one call and billed the right payer. That alone was worth it."
