Medicare pump rules different than what I was told previous to today

@mohe0001

medicare didn’t do Medtronic sensors. There were FDA concerns last I heard.

That is still correct. But many use medtronic pump with dexcom cgms, without integration.

Medtronic needs to file with FDA, FDA is not holdup.

Edit to add: 670 G3 is FDA approved, but medicare does not cover G3 sensors because there is additional FDA approval for Guardian 3 sensors to not require BG testing. (There is a new post saying Medtronic has filed with FDA)

Medtronic 670G Guardian 3 Sensors/Medicare Coverage Update

I hope more people will file appeals. Strength in numbers.
