I have just swapped insurance and having trouble getting dexcom approved - my transmitter is about to run out - does anyone know where I can just buy a dexcom transmitter for cash and how much they go for - worried th insurance process willl go on for a while and I can’t live without my dexcom now !
If you are not Medicare, Medicaid (or anything similar) then I ?think? you can buy from Dexcom (direct) for cash? I am pretty sure other people have posted that they do this.
You didn’t mention if you use the G4 or the G5. Either way, it should be around $600 for a single G4 or a pair of G5 transmitters.
Plus or minus but I think that would be the ballpark?

Yes – $300 per G5 transmitter directly from Dexcom. That’s what they listed for me 6 months ago, assuming rates did not change.
We must ban him for high crimes and misdemeanors!(kidding, inside joke)

Have you thought about repurposing an old transmitter and using it with xDrip?

I saw that but I have an iPhone so it’s not possible - I’m trying to buy one on the share app they have where people sell their supplies they don’t want and I have to speak to dexcom as the online store won’t work for me as I previously got it from a supplier and now I don’t have one

Very cost effective, but he probably won’t have time since his transmitter is almost out.

I watched a video on this tonight and it looks very easy (time consuming, but not hard)…if I ever run into financial hardships, I’ll definitely be looking more deeply into this method for Liam. Just replace batteries and vwhala.

oic, I thought you meant buying the battery replacement online.
@Robellengold - Would an Android emulator running on an iPhone let you run the xdrip software?
No, actually sanding down the top of an old transmitter, replacing the battery, and reusing it.
