How coverage works in New York

Medicare: CPAP and CGM claims for New York residents go to Noridian, the Medicare equipment contractor for DME Jurisdiction A. Medicare rules are the same nationwide: a CGM generally requires insulin use or a history of problematic low blood sugar, and CPAP coverage continues after the first 90 days when you show regular use. We send your prescriber the right paperwork for that contractor.

Medicaid and private plans: rules in New York vary by plan, including prior approval and preferred brands. We check your exact plan before anything ships.
