United Healthcare through Level 2 offers free Dexcom G6 CGM system/meters and a free Fitbit Inspire 2 to those with type II diabetes. Insulin is NOT required. All you have to do is call the number and/or fill out the form and inform them you have been diagnosed with type II diabetes and would like to enroll. Having United Healthcare is required. You do need to use their Level2 Dexcom Zone tile app on your compatible phone.

Level 2 Program:
https://mylevel2.com/

Compatible Phones:
https://www.dexcom.com/compatibil...e-cgm-tile

Why is this a deal? Because many insurance companies require prescribed insulin before covering CGM meters. Most are left to pay out of pocket. A month of Dexcom sensors runs $449 and you have to buy a $299 transmitter every 3 months besides the sensors. You can go with a FreeStyle Libre 2 CGM meter, they can be found for around $70 a month if you use GoodRX. Many like like that system better. Dexcom prices can be found here:
https://www.diabeticwarehouse.org...e?q=dexcom

What is a CGM? They are small device that sticks on your skin for 10-14 days, with a small probe that sits under skin and continuously measures your glucose levels.

Bonus: United Healthcare is giving extra incentives depending on your plan. One is a $750 yearly deductible credit for wearing the meter for 20 days a year. The other is $0 covered co-pays, drugs, etc. You have to ask them which incentives you qualify for. From what I understand they do not stack.

Update 1: From what I understand the "Choice Plus" plans qualify for $750 deductible and the $0 Co-Pays are for Bind plan members. See attached.

Update 2:
Enrollment form:

Hours: 8am-8pm CST, M-F

Glad to hear it can help someone. I have a friend that was denied coverage over a year by UHC because they didn't have prescribed insulin. UHC didn't mention they had this program. Hopefully word gets around for those who need it. Hope its helpful to your father!

Well he has prescribed insulin and has even had one of these before, but he lost it long ago. I think he had different insurance then, so I wasn't sure his UHC would cover this. The deductible incentive is extra helpful also, so here's hoping it'll work. Thanks either way; I'm sure some others will appreciate it also. Smilie

I'm T1D and use Dexcom. Haven't tried libre but this is miles ahead of anything medtronic has ever put out. I pay about 350 dollars after insurance every 3 months for dexcom supplies.

I have both in right now. Medtronic g3 and Dex g6. Neither are a mile ahead of each other. They have their pluses abs minuses tbh. For me I get more immediate accuracy with Medtronic where Dex lags a bit behind eventually being just as accurate. Dex is a bit more convenient with no finger stick calibration so that's a bonus. The trash created by Dex seems much greater then Medtronic so that annoys me a bit. For the 5 months I've been using both there are negligible as far as my stability goes.

I haven't gotten diagnosed officially yet, but am pre and am trying to prevent the eventual diagnosis.

Anyone have UHC but don't need it, PM me.

I have a Medtronic 770 right now with the Guardian 3 cgm. I was considering moving over to dexcom but early reviews on the new 780 system are great. Only problem is it's crawling through the FDA approval process. It was supposed to be available this spring now they have no ETA

That's awesome! I'm on Cigna as a type 1 with multiple daily injections, spent months on the phone with Cigna, evicore, and edgepark and wasn't able to get a dexcom covered. CGMs are awesome take advantage of this if you can!
