TORONTO – Dexcom has announced a partnership with The Health Depot digital pharmacy to provide Green Shield plan members with convenient access to the Dexcom G6 rtCGM System and virtual diabetes coaching support. Green Shield plan members eligible for Dexcom G6 rtCGM coverage who register for the new Digital Diabetes Care Program, delivered by The Health Depot, will have exclusive access to automated product shipments, preferred pricing, direct billing, co-payment assistance, no-cost receivers, individualized diabetes management support and clinical consultation. “The Digital Diabetes Care Program will provide Dexcom rtCGM users with personalized care and glucose management support from our team of clinical pharmacists,” said Andy Donald, president of The Health Depot. “As a clinical pharmacy, The Health Depot specializes in helping patients better manage chronic diseases like diabetes, all from the comfort and convenience of home. We're thrilled to be able to help Green Shield plan members reduce the effort and cost it takes to manage this condition as part of this comprehensive solution with Dexcom." Dexcom G6 uses a small, wearable sensor and transmitter to continuously measure and send glucose levels wirelessly to a smart device or receiver, giving patients real-time glucose data without the need to scan or prick their finger routinely. The system has customizable and predictive alerts and alarms to help avoid potentially dangerous low and high blood sugar events and a function that allows patients to share their glucose data in real time with up to 10 followers. Dexcom G6 also offers connectivity through integrations with leading insulin delivery systems and digital health apps.
