It looks like wave 2 has completed for SENS. They had a conference today march 9th about some things that were already known to us, but they made some things more clear. Quick summary of this conference:
- Accuracy of the current device is best in class with a MARD of 8.5% - Medicare National Coverage as of Jan 1, 2021: - Avg "Supply Cost" (I assume this is for the hardware and consumables) : $1571 - CPT Code 0446T (device insertion) $1,916 average payment - CPT Code 0448T (device removal and insertion) $1,926 average payment - Ascencia's commercial world wide investment in Senseonics product marketing is expected to be 30M-80M per year over 5 years (this is where they got the 250M in the previous conference) and expect the US Ascencia personnel assigned to Senseonics to be in the 80-160 range. - Eversense is Ascencia's first CGM product and they have exclusive rights to the sales and distribution.
Product Pipeline:
2021+ : Eversense 180 and iCGM/interoperability (integrate with insulin pumps) 2023 : Eversense 365, 1 calibration/week, optional FGM (flash glucose monitoring - no transmitter needed) 2024 : Freedom System, FGM, entire diabetes spectrum covered out to T2 non-insulin using patients.

I'm now looking for a 5 structure to the upside for a wave 3. Pricetarget for wave 3 is around $10. How long this will take I'm not sure.
