Eversense Bridge Program

Senseonics makes Eversense, an implantable glucose sensor that lasts 90 days.

Senseonics is currently offering the Eversense Bridge Program for those of us who may have high out-of-pocket costs, lack favorable insurance, or have been denied insurance for Eversense, 

If you meet the eligibility requirements, you can get an Eversense sensor for $99 (plus the cost of sensor placement by your healthcare provider).

The program will help you confirm your insurance benefits, obtain pre-authorizations before placing the sensor, and will work with you and your healthcare provider on denied-claim appeals.

November Meeting: Brian Rosko, Senseonics Business Manager and Melissa Karas, District Clinical Manager, presented the new implantable Eversense sensor. This new CGM device has a 3-month life span that uses a modified fluorescent molecule to detect glucose. A silicone patch attaches the transmitter to the arm over the sensor for readings.

The Eversense sensor is a great device for travel. The only supplies needed are the silicone patches that you change daily; they fit in a snack-size Ziploc bag. The sensor MARD is a very accurate 8.5%. The sensor requires calibration twice a day.

A doctor is required to insert the sensor. Insertions currently are available through Dr. Edelman at UCSD and AMCR. Contact Brian or Melissa for more information. Also, see our website under Manufacturers.
