Yes — Medicare Part B does cover Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs), but only if certain conditions are met.

What Medicare Part B Covers

✅ Have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes
✅ Use insulin OR have a history of dangerous low blood sugar
✅ Get a prescription from a licensed provider
✅ Use a Medicare-approved DME supplier
✅ Had a provider visit within the last 6 months

What Patients Pay
• Medicare: 80%
