Senseonics Announces Two Positive Blue Cross Blue Shield Coverage Decisions for Eversense CGM
Summary
“We are pleased that both Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts and Idaho have recognized Eversense CGM as one of their diabetes management tools and also recognize the value it brings to their patients with diabetes,” said Tim Goodnow, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Senseonics. “With each new coverage decision, we are able to reduce the barriers and help thousands of patients experience the freedom that Eversense brings for up to 90 days of continuous glucose readings. Starting this fall, the system will be used to replace fingerstick blood glucose (BG) measurements for diabetes treatment decisions. Fingerstick BG measurements will still be required for calibration twice per day, and when symptoms do not match CGM information or when taking medications of the tetracycline class. The Eversense CGM System is a prescription device; patients should talk to their health care provider to learn more.
