That is just where UHC has always told me to go. I do wear the OmniPod and that comes from Medco. Even though you don't get supplies directly from Dexcom, I would contact them to figure out…"

Theo replied to cat3440's discussion 'United Healthcare Coverage of the G4' in the group Dexcom Users"Thanks for the info. My insurance was just changed to UHC and I haven't had a chance to get supplies from them yet.

Korrie replied to cat3440's discussion 'United Healthcare Coverage of the G4' in the group Dexcom Users"Heads up tho - remember not all DME providers can bill Pharmacy - i.e. prescription, you may need to change where you order your sensors.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! I look forward to all of the connections and resources that this forum will bring. Can't wait to dive in and discover all of the exciting things that TuDiabetes has to offer. After 21 years, I guess it's time to start using technology to share with others that can relate to type 1.
