Deal Details
Last Edited by slickdakine June 4, 2022 at 09:15 PM
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:

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:

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:

Anyone have UHC but don't need it, PM me.
Don't give up. I prevented by going on low-carb, low sugar and using MyFitnessPal/Fitbit to log in. I'll be 50 this year, am just about the only person I know without Type II yet am larger than them all (I lost 90 lbs in a year following this plan and doing exercise).

Don't switch to uhc just for this. In my experience uhc is one of the worst insurance carriers in terms of patient access and customer service.
But I'm sure you'll do your research. Maybe switching will end up being worth it for your parents' care if they have no other problems apart from type 2
