Once we confirm your insurance coverage, we'll contact your doctor for your prescription and contact you with any questions that may arise.

Once we have the information we need, we'll ship your CGM order so you can start thriving with diabetes.
How do I know if I qualify for a CGM?
Continuous glucose monitoring eligibility may depend on your insurance and the type of diabetes you have. All CGMs require a prescription from your doctor. We work closely with you throughout the ordering process to ensure you understand your benefits.
At Edgepark, we are committed to helping reduce the burden of determining your eligibility. So long as you stay in close communication with us throughout the ordering process, we'll get your CGM to you as soon as possible.
Dexcom Stelo provides more options if you don't qualify for a CGM
If you live with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes and are not insulin-dependent or are simply looking to boost your health insights through blood glucose monitoring, the Dexcom Stelo glucose biosensor could be a good option for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be on insulin to use a CGM?
No. Continuous glucose monitors and glucose biosensors can be leveraged by people who are not insulin dependent. People with all types of diabetes and even the general public can benefit from CGMs and glucose biosensors. Insurance coverage may vary depending on your health condition, which makes the availability of over-the-counter glucose biosensors even more helpful for those who need them.
Is every CGM device covered by my insurance?
CGM coverage varies by insurance type. Consult your insurance provider directly to determine your coverage options. Edgepark will attempt to support you throughout this process to determine your eligibility and guide you to the best choice for your needs.
How long is the process to start using a CGM?
The process for getting started with a CGM depends on multiple factors, including insurance verification, prescription authorization, and our ability to connect with you and your healthcare provider. In many cases, the process can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. We will do our best at Edgepark to help streamline the process for you so you can get started with CGM therapy quickly.
How do I know which device is right for me?
To figure out which CGM device is right for you, consult your doctor. CGM options exist to accommodate different needs. What's right for you may not be right for someone else but ask questions and know your care team is here to support you.
