August 7, 2015 | Dexcom, a manufacturer of continuous glucose monitors, has announced that UnitedHealthcare and Anthem will both allow patients enrolled in their plans to pick up continuous glucose monitors at pharmacies with their other prescriptions, rather than ordering them from third-party distributors. The change could encourage more patients with diabetes to switch to the monitors, which can track glucose levels automatically and don't require regular finger pricks.
