Summary
Abbott has issued a voluntary medical device correction for FreeStyle Libre 3 sensors from three specific lots (T60001948, T60001966, T60001969) distributed in May 2024 due to risk of incorrect high glucose readings. Affected patients should verify their sensor serial number at FreeStyleConfirm.com and contact Abbott or their provider if symptomatic. This is a device safety alert, not a billing or coverage policy change.
Action Required
No direct billing action required. Billing team should be aware: (1) This is a device correction notice, not a coverage or reimbursement change; (2) Providers should alert patients using affected sensor lots to visit FreeStyleConfirm.com; (3) No claim denials or billing adjustments are associated with this correction; (4) If patients receive replacement sensors from Abbott at no charge, no billing impact occurs. Flag for provider communication and patient safety awareness only.
