71108 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Associate Minister of Health: What fees, if any, should a patient with a Freestyle Libre 2 continuous glucose monitor pay on sensors, and how often?

Hon David Seymour: Continuous Glucose Monitors are funded by Pharmac as a community device. They are subject to the standard prescription co-payment, similar to community dispensed pharmaceuticals, which is $5 per item for a three-month prescription.
