Preferred CGM Sensors
The HSE-Medicines Management Programme (MMP) has identified preferred continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors with associated systems.
The evaluation process was undertaken in accordance with the MMP roadmap for the identification of preferred continuous glucose monitoring sensor(s) with associated system(s).
The MMP recommends the following preferred CGM sensors:
Preferred CGM sensors – List A | ||
CGM sensor | Reimbursement code | Pack size |
Freestyle Libre 2 | 85581 | 1 |
Dexcom ONE+ | 97636 | 1 |
The MMP recommends that healthcare professionals should give due consideration to the use of a preferred CGM sensor with associated system from List A, for people with diabetes requiring CGM who are not insulin pump users, when:
- First initiating CGM
- Continuing CGM upon review
- Changing CGM sensor with associated system
Reimbursement is supported in accordance with Primary Care Reimbursement Service Circular 033/23 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Reimbursement Application System.
The MMP has developed resources to support the prescribing of the preferred products, including a preferred CGM sensors poster outlining notable features of these products and other useful information.
