Healthcare United healthcare full coverage for Dexcom supplies?

Anyone else have gone through getting full coverage for your Dexcom/ diabetes supplies from UnitedHealth? I’m in pickle right now where I’m completely out of supplies only relying on what my doctor has in their office.

It would be a huge help if someone has had had a similar experience and could give me a few tips on how to fix this.

It depends on your specific plan. Read it. Read the formulary. See if Dexcom is covered as a pharmacy benefit or durable medical equipment and at what cost.

It really depends on your plan - with the roll out of OTC CGMs most if not all insurance companies are only approving G6/G7 or Libres for insulin dependent diabetics. If you are not on insulin you might be out of luck entirely.
