I talked to the Minimed rep yesterday and he said Anthem as of May 08 are paying for the sensor.

That’s what my educator said about Anthem, too. My coverage with Anthem begins today (husband’s employer coverage changed as of 7/1) and I’m trying to get approved for a navigator. She said that I should use their deal with Minimed as leverage if possible to make my case for a cgms. I went through much of their thick documentation online and found the following article on their website:

Seems as though there’s hope in some cases, but a lot of criteria would still have to be met. As I’ve said to friends and family, it’s like you have to prove that of all the people who try really hard, you suck the most at it. :slight_smile:
