Learn about your coverage options
#AccessForAll is our advocacy initiative to ensure equitable and universal access to diabetes devices for all Canadians, regardless of age. We aim to support the T1D community to increase both public and private coverage for advanced glucose monitors (Flash CGM and Continuous Glucose Monitors) and insulin pumps. We believe in patient choice and the importance of reducing out of pocket costs for these life changing and life saving devices.

Flash GM and CGM Coverage
PharmaCare provides coverage of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and a flash glucose monitor (FGM) through Special Authority. Initial coverage is for 1 year. After the first year, your prescriber can request a Special Authority renewal for 5 years.
You are eligible for coverage if:
- You are covered under one (or more) of these plans:
- Fair PharmaCare
- Plan C (Income Assistance)
- Plan F (At Home Program)
- Plan W (First Nations Health Benefits)
- Blood glucose testing with a CGM/FGM has been deemed medically necessary for you
- You agree to comprehensive and age-appropriate diabetes education by an interdisciplinary diabetes healthcare team and commit to regular follow-up
If you are already using a CGM/FGM and would like to be covered by PharmaCare, your prescriber will still need to apply for Special Authority. You must meet the eligibility criteria. You do not need a certificate of training from a diabetes education centre to qualify for this coverage.
CGMs, FGMs and blood glucose test strips
If using a CGM/FGM, you may occasionally need blood glucose test strips (for example, if your monitor displays an error code or if your symptoms don’t match your readings). CGM and FGM users are covered for 200 blood glucose test strips per year.
