Hit a speed bump in the ‘Dexcom Adventure’

I received a call from Edgepark (the company I have to go through who is ‘In Network’) and they reviewed my benefits with me and said that I was ready to go with ordering my CGM. The sales lady totaled up my device and 2 months worth of sensor and said “You total will be $1200 would you like to put this on your charge card?”, slightly taken back I asked “is there a payment plan?” like a poor man standing on a street corner with dirty feet. Come to find out that Edgepark collects upfront for all medical devices.

[Insert road block here]

Discouraged, I made a call into my Dexcom guy, Brian, and asked if he has any suggestions or $1200. He said Plan B would be to order it through Dexcom, which is ‘Out of Network’ and make 3 installments on the device and 2 months of supplies. So at least another door has opened but I’m starting to think this CGM business isn’t in the cards for me.

So I have a phone call to make to Brian tomorrow with a decision whether or not I’m going to go through with it….stay tuned and send $$$

My Dexcom adventure has begun..

So i filled out all of the paperwork to get my new CGM from Dexcom. I had an appointment with my Endo last week and was trying to get her to finally sign the medical necessity paper (which is pretty much a signature) and i heard today from my Dexcom sales guy, Brian, that they got the fax from her!!

I’m very excited that this process is starting to make progress and i can envision the UPS man pulling up with my CGM box in hand!!
