Common Questions

Are CGMs HSA-eligible without diabetes?
Yes with a Letter of Medical Necessity. Common LMN justifications: prediabetes, metabolic syndrome, PCOS, reactive hypoglycemia, or weight management.
How do I get an LMN for a CGM?
Ask your primary care doctor, endocrinologist, or functional medicine provider. Truemed and Sika Health also issue LMNs during checkout on supported CGM brands.
Does my HSA cover the sensors and the app subscription?
Yes for both when bundled by the vendor. The whole monthly fee qualifies as a medical expense.
Which CGM has the best app?
Levels has the most polished metabolic-health app. Lingo is improving fast. Stelo's app is intentionally basic. Nutrisense pairs CGM data with human coaching.
Can I use insurance for any of these consumer CGMs?
Not for Levels, Lingo, Stelo, or Nutrisense (consumer/lifestyle positioning). Dexcom G7 is insurance-covered for diabetes diagnoses through pharmacy or DME benefits.
How do I log a CGM subscription in HSA Trackr?
Add the monthly charge as a recurring expense, category 'medical'. Attach the LMN PDF to the first entry so all subsequent charges inherit the documentation.
