Facilitated by Wheel, a leading virtual care platform focused on
delivering consumer-centric care and HealthDyne, a pharmacy
technology provider, Best Buy will sell the Dexcom G7 Continuous
Glucose Monitoring System to eligible customers through
BestBuy.com, where they will be brought to our new platform,
Wellness.BestBuyHealth.com to complete the process. Leveraging the
Salesforce platform, Best Buy is selling glucose monitors via a
site powered by Commerce Cloud.
With more CGM system options aimed to come soon after launch,
this is the first time we will offer prescription based medical
devices to our customers.
Why CGMs?
The CDC reports that more than 10% of the U.S. population has
diabetes. With the demand for CGM growing over the past few years,
using devices like Dexcom G7, means no fingersticks, real-time
glucose monitoring and the ability to make smarter decisions about
controlling diabetes.
Through our health and wellness categories at Best Buy, we make
it easy to purchase any of our thousands of carefully curated
technology products that help you stay healthy throughout every
stage of your life. And with the new CGM offering, we’re making the
process of purchasing a CGM easier, too.
The expansion also aligns perfectly with the goal of Best Buy
Health to enable care at home for everyone by relying on partners
to provide care for patients while sticking to what we do best,
providing technology and expertise that enriches and saves
lives.
How to buy a CGM at Best Buy
Once available, customers looking for Dexcom G7 can find it on
BestBuy.com, where they will be brought to our new platform by
clicking “Get Started,” or can visit Wellness.BestBuyHealth.com to
begin the process with Wheel and determine eligibility. If
approved, the prescription will then be processed by HealthDyne and
the device will be sent to your home.
Although not available at launch, our goal is to soon allow
those with an existing CGM prescription from their own physician to
be able to upload that prescription into their profile and have the
device sent to them.
We will not be able to accept insurance payment for CGM systems
at launch; customers with HSA/FSA/HRA funds may be able to be
reimbursed for their purchase.
