I doubt Amazon will sell G7 sensors via Part B, all their info says “Pharmacy” which is a great way to buy them until you get on Medicare:

Anyway, I’ve been using Edwards for Medicare Part B Dexcom supplies. Highly recommend, phone them and speak with a person who is knowledgeable about the details and set up an account. Everything has been smooth with Edwards so far.
1-888-344-3434
Will they fill at 76 days? I.e. the point at which Medicare Part B pays.
Not sure if I’ve tried that, give them a call. Seriously, they are one of the few vendors around with a knowledgeable and helpful person available on the phone.
I can tell you they are strict about the Medicare 6-month rule for clinical notes. No DME orders if you exceed 6 month max since your last dr. visit. I’ve been caught by that one once and now schedule my endo every 4 months to have a safety margin for rescheduling etc.
For those in the US on MediCare who can’t wait for the result of my own voyage of discovery when I try to get my G7 prescription filled by WalMart on Part B here is the relevant MediCare web site page:
(Thanks to @Terry4 for indirectly pointing that out.) Enter the zip code of your pharmacy (not your own) and search for:
“Blood Glucose Monitors and Supplies (Non-Mail Order)”
(It’s in the drop-down, right near the top because it is apparently a “popular” search item.) For me, in a low income unserved part of America, this shows seven local retailers, all pharmacies, that supply “blood glucose monitor supplies” (aka the G7 sensor). At least two of the listed pharmacies do, in fact, fill Dexcom prescriptions (WalGreens, before they took over RiteAid, and WalMart).
Suck it and see; since this is MediCare the pharmacist does not need your personal details “Medicare” is enough. I don’t know if a Part B supply provider is permitted to deny coverage. Service providers obviously are but are they if they do provide the same service to people not on Medicare?
