Summary
CareSource (Ohio Medicaid) issued an urgent safety alert regarding FreeStyle Libre 3 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors due to FDA-identified risk of inaccurate low glucose readings. Providers must immediately notify affected patients to discontinue use of impacted sensors and direct them to www.FreeStyleCheck.com for replacement verification. This is a patient safety notice requiring immediate provider action, not a billing policy change.
Action Required
Immediately: Providers and clinical staff must inform all patients currently using FreeStyle Libre 3 or FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors about the FDA safety alert. Direct patients to www.FreeStyleCheck.com to determine if their specific sensor is affected and request a replacement. Advise patients to discontinue use of impacted sensors immediately.
