Healthcare DIVE October 9, 2023
It’s the tech retailer’s first foray into prescription-based medical device sales.
Dive Brief:
- Best Buy plans to start selling continuous glucose monitors in the next few weeks, in the tech retailer’s first foray into prescription-based medical device sales.
- The company plans to sell the Dexcom G7 CGM at launch, and is looking to expand to offer additional CGM systems from other manufacturers, according to the company.
- Customers who want to buy a CGM will be routed to virtual care platform Wheel, where clinicians will determine a patient’s eligibility and write a prescription. Pharmacy tech provider HealthDyne will receive and process prescriptions, and consumers can then purchase the CGMs on Best Buy’s website for delivery to their home.
