Coverage and Benefit Design
Webinar / Archive

CGM has advanced diabetes management, with demonstrated improvements in glycemic management, reduction of hypoglycemia-related resource utilization, and enhanced member engagement and self-management. While this technology was initially prescribed predominantly for those living with type 1 diabetes (T1D), the mounting body of evidence and expert recommendations have led to more widespread use in insulin-treated T2D, necessitating the implementation of evidence-based benefit design policies by health plans. During this working group meeting, leading payer and managed care decision makers reviewed recent findings and shared their insights on best practices for CGM coverage and reimbursement, including alignment with clinical practice guidelines, availability under the pharmacy benefit, and automated adjudication at the point of sale.
