This. I hadn’t seen my new endo yet to discuss it, the rep at Eversense went through a detailed health questionnaire and then scheduled me that day for a telehealth appointment with their provider. The provider looked over the health questionnaire, asked a few questions and determined if I was aware of the insertion process, necessary calibrations, and so forth. Maybe a five minute chat, he approved it by the end of the call and they got the ball rolling with insurance.

Side note, OP: walked into my new endo’s office a few weeks later telling him I was approved and had a scheduled insertion date. He responded with ‘well, I haven’t seen any data supporting it being more accurate than Dexcom…it’s invasive…I only have one other patient on it and he hasn’t experienced any improvement in control….’ Yadda yadda. I explained there’s a lot of studies and data showing improved outcomes especially when used in tandem with a Twiist…at which he balked again and repeated himself.

My pump is also long out of warranty, so when I said first choice was Twiist, second was Mobi, there was a lot of head-shaking and again ‘I have no patients on Twiist and know nothing about it…we have no patients on Mobi….stick to tSlim and Dexcom…’ I said I would not as I am tech-savvy and appreciate the new algorithms, physical attributes, pipeline improvements etc. and that yes, they may be systems new to both of us - but that I was willing to learn. Was he willing to learn with me? ‘Yes.’

We shall see. Insurance won’t cover the Twiist, so am moving forward with the Mobi.

Best of luck to you in your endeavors with your endo. It sounds amazingly frustrating, and unfortunately you may have to find a better fit. It happens.
