First, the product is great, it has given me a peace of mind like no other diabetic device.

In one of the reorder evolutions, Dexcom insisted that my doctor write another script even though the current prescription was still valid. My doctor refused and the battle was on, for months. Eventually, I had to pull the patient welfare card, and pleaded with my doctor to write another script and insisted that I was the one suffering from his refusal to write on a piece of paper. He insisted that I filed a complaint with the state. I fired him and sought the help of another Endo.

Come to find out my doctor wasn’t the problem, it was Dexcom. Every reorder. and God forbid a new script, insurance reauthorization, there is a major issue. On average I spend three hours talking to Dexcom’s reps for each order. I should be paid by Dexcom as much as I’ve been on the phone with them. I can recite their hold music, "Opus No. 1" by Tim Carlton & Derrick Deel in my sleep (it sounds like it belongs in a bad 90’s movie).

In defense of the Dexcom reps, they have been nice but lack the ability to do anything correctly. I’ve had them mistake a third party biller for my insurance, try coding me on Medicare, and one time they were going to ship the devices to my insurance company. It’s a shame, not sure how long they can go on like this.
