CGM Anti-Denial Campaign Website

All you need to fight for CGM coverage.

It's been so long since I signed onto this website, I really should post an update! After Horizon denied my CGM coverage after originally covering it, they modified their policy to say that, under certain criteria they would cover it. I got letter of medical necessity and made sure to include all the criteria I thought they would be looking for. After originally still denying it and going back and forth with me, they finally decided to cover it. I hear from my diabetes educator peers that Horizon is one of the more difficult insurance companies to get coverage through. It is my opinion that most people can ultimately get coverage through most insurance companies, although it is often a long and drawn out battle. If I can help you in any way, please feel free to email me at DForce732@optonline.net Maybe I can give you some guidance for a letter of medical necessity or let you know if your particular insurance co. has covered any CGMs. It is my hope that if enough of us want these, we can require insurance co. to cover them.

Take Care!

I am so sorry to hear about these awful things each of you has told me about. Deborah, I have had many of the same kinds of incidents as you. Even since I got the CGM, I have had some nasty lows, although not nearly as bad as I used to have before...

I have come to accept that my hypo seizures are going to kill me. I have hypo unawareness and I am afraid to sleep. I purposely eat more carbs prior to going to bed because I am afraid that I will not wake up. Last week I woke up at 5am with a 30B...
