Terumo announced today that the Japanese medical insurance system expanded reimbursement coverage for the Dexcom G6 CGM.

Japan’s medical insurance system introduced a new category titled “C150.” It makes a wider range of people with diabetes eligible to receive reimbursement for the G6 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) in Japan.

Dexcom develops and manufactures the current-generation G6 CGM. It offers the next-generation Dexcom G7 CGM in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria and Hong Kong. U.S. approval could come soon, too. Terumo markets the G6 in Japan.
