How do I get coverage?
You or your child will need to be evaluated by a Specialist in Endocrinology or Pediatrics to ensure you meet the medical criteria of the program. The specialist does notneed to complete any special forms, they will simply write a prescription for Dexcom G6 if you or your child meet the eligibility criteria.
What if I have private insurance?
Alberta Health’s announcement will not impact private health plan coverage.
How do I order my CGM supplies?
Once you receive a prescription from your specialist, you may take it to your local pharmacy for it to be filled. Your pharmacist will submit your claim and, when needed, coordinate coverage between Alberta Health and your private insurance.
How long will I be covered for?
Once you receive a prescription from your specialist, coverage will continue until you or your child no longer meet the eligibility criteria.
