Frequently Asked Questions

What is a continuous glucose monitor (CGM)?

A continuous glucose monitor is a small wearable device that checks glucose levels throughout the day and night. It can display current readings, glucose trends, and alerts for high or low glucose, depending on the system being used.

How is a CGM different from a traditional glucose meter?

A traditional glucose meter provides a reading when you perform a fingerstick test. A CGM automatically measures glucose at regular intervals and shows how levels are changing over time. Some situations may still require a fingerstick, so always follow the instructions for your device and the advice of your healthcare provider.

Who may qualify for a CGM?

Eligibility depends on your medical needs, prescription, insurance plan, and the plan’s coverage requirements. DME Plus can review your insurance information and coordinate with your healthcare provider to determine what documentation may be required.

Which CGM systems does DME Plus provide?

DME Plus provides many commonly prescribed CGM systems and related supplies, including products from leading manufacturers. Product availability and insurance coverage can vary. Contact us with the name of the system your healthcare provider prescribed, and our team will review your options.

Do I need a prescription for a CGM?

Yes. CGMs and most related diabetes supplies require a valid prescription or order from an authorized healthcare provider. Your insurance plan may also require recent medical records, proof of eligibility, or prior authorization.

Can DME Plus contact my doctor for the required paperwork?

Yes. With your permission, our team can contact your healthcare provider to request the prescription and supporting clinical documentation required by your insurance plan. We help coordinate the process so you do not have to manage every step alone.

Does insurance cover CGMs?

Many Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance plans cover CGMs for eligible members. Coverage differs by plan and may depend on medical necessity, diagnosis, treatment, and documentation. DME Plus accepts most major New York and New Jersey insurance plans and will verify your benefits before processing the order.

Will I have a copay or out-of-pocket cost?

Your cost depends on your insurance benefits, deductible, coinsurance, network status, and the specific product ordered. We will verify available coverage and let you know about any known patient responsibility before shipping whenever possible.

Does DME Plus serve all of New York and New Jersey?

Yes. DME Plus serves patients throughout the entire states of New York and New Jersey. Eligible supplies can be delivered directly to your home.

How long does it take to receive a CGM?

Timing depends on how quickly we receive the prescription, medical records, insurance approval, and any required prior authorization. Once the order is complete and approved, our team works to process and ship it promptly.

Will DME Plus remind me when it is time for a refill?

Yes. Our team helps manage ongoing refill needs and can contact you before eligible supplies are shipped. Refill timing is based on your prescription, insurance rules, product usage, and confirmation that supplies are still needed.

Can my CGM supplies be delivered to my home?

Yes. We deliver eligible CGM and diabetes supplies directly to patients throughout New York and New Jersey. If you need a one-time address change, contact us before the order ships.

What should I do if my CGM sensor fails or falls off early?

Contact the device manufacturer’s technical support team, as the manufacturer may need to troubleshoot the issue and determine whether a replacement is appropriate. DME Plus can help direct you to the correct manufacturer if needed. If you are experiencing a medical emergency or concerning symptoms, seek immediate medical care.

Can DME Plus help me choose a CGM?

Your healthcare provider should determine which CGM is clinically appropriate for you. DME Plus can explain product availability, insurance requirements, and the supply process, and can coordinate the prescribed order with your provider.

Insulin Pump Supplies

What is an insulin pump?

An insulin pump is a device that delivers insulin throughout the day based on settings prescribed by a healthcare provider. Some pumps can communicate with a compatible CGM. Training, dosing, and device settings must be provided or supervised by your qualified healthcare professional.

Does DME Plus provide insulin pumps and pump supplies?

DME Plus provides many commonly prescribed insulin pumps, infusion sets, reservoirs or cartridges, pods, and related supplies. Availability and coverage depend on the prescribed system, insurance plan, and supplier-network requirements.

What information is needed to start an insulin pump supply order?

We generally need your contact information, insurance details, healthcare provider information, prescription, and any clinical records required by your plan. Requirements vary, and our team will tell you what is needed for your specific order.

How often can I receive insulin pump supplies?

Refill frequency depends on the product directions, prescription, insurance allowance, and the quantity of supplies remaining. DME Plus helps monitor eligible refill dates and coordinates recurring orders.

Can I receive both CGM and insulin pump supplies from DME Plus?

Yes. If the products are available through DME Plus and covered under your plan, we can help coordinate both types of supplies. Providing everything through one supplier may make refills and communication easier.

Are all CGMs compatible with all insulin pumps?

No. Compatibility depends on the exact CGM, pump model, software, and manufacturer requirements. Do not assume that two devices will work together. Confirm compatibility with your healthcare provider and the device manufacturers before changing products.

Can I switch from my current supplier to DME Plus?

Yes. Contact us with your insurance information, current products, and healthcare provider details. We will check whether DME Plus can supply your products under your plan and explain the next steps.

What if my insurance changes?

Let us know as soon as possible and before your next shipment. We will verify the new plan, determine whether DME Plus is in network, and identify any new prescription, documentation, or authorization requirements.

What if I am running low on supplies?

Contact DME Plus as soon as you know your supplies are running low. We will check the status of your refill and let you know whether additional documentation or insurance approval is needed. For urgent clinical concerns or questions about insulin delivery, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Does DME Plus provide training or medical advice?

DME Plus helps patients understand how to use their CGM or insulin pump supplies and provides general product support. We also assist with product coordination, insurance verification, documentation, delivery, and refills. For clinical training or medical advice, patients should consult their healthcare provider, diabetes educator, pharmacist, or the device manufacturer’s authorized training team.
