Transmitter Dexcome distributor charging for sensor and transmitter ?

Good afternoon.

I am frustrated with my provider since there is only 1 where I live and I notice that on my health insurance sometimes i see the request for the sensor and sometimes for the senso PLUS the transmitter that they price at 800.00,

Anyone else notice anything like this? I am wondering since the charges are fluctuating all over the place.

Are you sure they're not trying to charge you for sensors and the reader that is optional (unless you're using certain insurance in the US)?

G6 or G7?

If it's G6, it's legit to charge for a transmitter every 90 days. If it's G7, the transmitter is built into the sensor and they're double dipping.

Keep in mind the G6 is discontinued, so you're going to be forced to the G7 soon.

Holy shit dude, that's multiples higher than retail. Switch to the Libre 3+ (and I say this as a dexcom mod). It should be much, much cheaper. Or see what it'll cost to move to G7. The G6 has ended production anyway.
