The consumer electronics retailer will sell the Dexcom G7 for $179.99 for a 30-day supply, according to an Oct. 9 news Best Buy release shared with Becker’s. Eligible customers can receive a glucose monitor through BestBuy.com where they will then be directed to the retailer’s new website dubbed Wellness.BestBuyHealth.com.

If the customer is approved, the prescription will be processed by HealthDyne, and once the Dexcom G7 is available, customers can get the device directly delivered to their homes, according to the release.

The retailer said it is not currently accepting insurance, but aims to eventually have a process in place whereby customers’ physicians can upload their prescriptions into their profiles and have the device sent to them.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
