The bill sets specific criteria for this coverage, such as the recipient having been diagnosed with diabetes and requiring insulin administration or having a history of problematic hypoglycemia. It also requires regular in-person or telehealth visits between the recipient and their treating practitioner to monitor the use of the continuous glucose monitor and the recipient's diabetes treatment plan.
