Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems/External Insulin Pump Therapy for Diabetes 1.01.30
Excellus BlueCross BlueShield medical policy 1.01.30 expanded its criteria for insulin pump requests to include members who use continuous glucose monitoring rather than finger sticks. The December 18, 2025 annual review removed insulin dependency requirements and states that disposable external insulin pumps are no longer investigational. The May 22, 2025 update had changed the initial pump self-testing requirement from four times a day to three times per day, and the prior initiation requirement from two months to one month.
