Dobson | DaVanzo recently published an analysis commissioned by Dexcom, Inc. examining the impact of new Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) policies on reimbursement for continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) under the CY 2026 Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Final Rule. The study evaluates whether the shift from lump-sum purchases to a monthly rental model within the Competitive Bidding Program (CBP) will achieve CMS’s goal of reducing costs while maintaining beneficiary access to essential diabetes technologies.
