That means: - No more painful finger pricks throughout the day - Real-time glucose readings right on your phone - Alerts before your levels get too high or too low - Better A1C results and peace of mind At St. Joseph Medical, we handle all the paperwork. We verify your Medicare eligibility, coordinate with your doctor, and ship your CGM supplies right to your door — free of charge. It takes less than 2 minutes to see if you qualify.

Bad Birthday / Data Issue

Email: Bad Birthday (Incorrect DOB on File)

Target: Leads whose birthday data is missing or incorrect, preventing eligibility verification.

Variant A — Friendly Data Correction Request

Subject A1: Quick question — we want to make sure you get your CGM
Subject A2: We need one small detail to check your CGM eligibility
Preview: We tried to verify your coverage but need your correct date of birth.
Hi [First Name], We recently tried to check whether you qualify for a free continuous glucose monitor through Medicare — but we hit a small snag. The date of birth we have on file does not seem to match what Medicare has. That means we could not verify your coverage yet. Can you help us fix this? It only takes a moment: [UPDATE MY INFORMATION →] Once we have your correct date of birth, we can: - Instantly check your Medicare eligibility - Coordinate with your doctor for a prescription - Ship a Dexcom G7 or Libre 3 directly to your home We do not want you to miss out on this benefit. Many of our patients pay $0 out of pocket for their CGM supplies. Just click the link above or call us at (818) 953-5227 and we will sort it out in under a minute. Thank you, St. Joseph Medical Team

Variant B — Short & Direct

Subject A1: We could not verify your CGM eligibility — quick fix needed
Subject A2: One thing is holding up your free CGM supplies
Preview: Update your date of birth so we can check your Medicare coverage.
Hi [First Name], We tried to verify your eligibility for a free continuous glucose monitor but the date of birth on your form did not match your records. This is the only thing holding up your application. Can you update it here? Takes 30 seconds: [FIX MY DATE OF BIRTH →] Once corrected, we handle everything else — insurance verification, doctor coordination, and monthly delivery to your door. Questions? Call us: (818) 953-5227 St. Joseph Medical
HMO Patient

Email: HMO Patient (PPO Check-In)

Target: Patients currently on HMO plans — checking if they have switched to PPO or have supplemental coverage.

Variant A — Insurance Change Check-In

Subject A1: Has your insurance changed recently? You might now qualify
Subject A2: HMO to PPO? Your free CGM might be waiting
Preview: Many patients switch plans during enrollment and do not realize they now qualify.
Hi [First Name], When we last spoke, your HMO plan did not cover CGM supplies through our program. But insurance changes happen — and we want to make sure you are not missing out. If any of these apply to you, you likely qualify now: - You switched from an HMO to a PPO plan - You added a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policy - You enrolled in a Medicare Advantage PPO during open enrollment - Your employer changed your plan type A quick re-check takes less than 2 minutes and could mean: - A free Dexcom G7 or FreeStyle Libre 3 - No more finger pricks - Monthly supplies delivered to your door [CHECK MY ELIGIBILITY AGAIN →] Even if you are not sure whether your plan changed, we can look it up for you. No obligation. Best, St. Joseph Medical Team (818) 953-5227

Variant B — Value-Forward Reminder

Subject A1: Did your health plan change this year? Let us check again
Subject A2: Plans change. Your CGM eligibility might have too
Preview: A quick 2-minute check could qualify you for a free CGM.
Hi [First Name], Quick check-in from St. Joseph Medical. Last time we looked into CGM coverage for you, your HMO plan did not qualify. But plans change — especially during open enrollment periods. If your insurance has changed at all since we last spoke, there is a good chance you now qualify for a continuous glucose monitor at no cost. Here is what has changed for many of our patients: - HMO plans switched to PPO → now eligible - Added supplemental Medicare coverage → now eligible - New Medicare Advantage plan → possibly eligible Takes 2 minutes to find out: [RE-CHECK MY COVERAGE →] We have helped over 2,000 patients get their CGM supplies covered. Let us see if we can help you too. St. Joseph Medical (818) 953-5227

Email: No Contact (Cold Lead Re-Engagement)

Target: Leads who submitted a form but were never reached or contacted.

Variant A — We Tried to Reach You

Previously Declined

Email: Denied by Patient (Win-Back)

Target: Patients who previously declined or opted out of CGM services.

Variant A — Things Have Changed

Subject A1: A lot has changed with CGMs since we last spoke
Subject A2: The CGM experience is different now — here is what is new
Preview: Smaller sensors, better accuracy, and zero finger pricks. Worth a second look.
Hi [First Name], We understand you decided a CGM was not right for you when we spoke before. We completely respect that decision. But we wanted to let you know — a lot has changed in CGM technology since then: What is new: - 60% smaller sensors (Dexcom G7 is the size of a penny) - No more calibration finger pricks — zero required - 14-day wear time with the Libre 3 (set it and forget it) - Real-time phone alerts before dangerous lows or highs - Improved accuracy that rivals lab-grade testing What has NOT changed: - Still covered by Medicare at $0 for most patients - We still handle all the paperwork and doctor coordination - Free delivery to your door every month If any of your original concerns have been addressed by these improvements, we would love to help you take another look. [LEARN MORE ABOUT NEW CGMS →] No obligation. Just information. Warmly, St. Joseph Medical Team (818) 953-5227

Variant B — Peer Influence / Social Proof

Subject A1: 2,000+ patients changed their mind about CGMs
Subject A2: Why patients who said no are now saying yes
Preview: Hear what changed their minds about continuous glucose monitors.
Hi [First Name], When you decided against a CGM last time, you were not alone. Many of our patients felt the same way at first. But here is what we have seen: a large number of them came back after hearing from friends, family, or their doctors about how much CGMs have improved. Here is what they tell us: "I did not think I needed it until my A1C started creeping up. Now I cannot imagine going back to finger pricks." — Maria, 68 "My daughter convinced me to try it. Best decision I have made for my health in years." — Robert, 72 The latest Dexcom G7 and Libre 3 are nothing like the old glucose monitors. They are tiny, painless, and give you 24/7 readings on your phone. And Medicare still covers it — most patients pay nothing. Would you be open to a second look?

Abbott Directfreestyle.abbottManufacturer directLibre brand owner, huge SEO footprint

Competitive Ad Strategy Patterns

Pattern 1: Medicare Eligibility Funnels — US MED, Byram, and ADS Medical all lead with "Medicare covers your CGM" messaging. They use lead forms asking age + insurance type to qualify upfront. STJ already does this well.
Pattern 2: Product-Specific Landing Pages — Top competitors have dedicated pages for each CGM (Dexcom G7, Libre 3, Libre 2). STJ has blog posts but could strengthen with dedicated product/comparison pages.
Pattern 3: Local + National Hybrid — Competitors like US MED target nationally while maintaining local SEO. STJ's Burbank branding is strong locally but limits national reach.
Pattern 4: YouTube Pre-Roll — Dexcom and Abbott run heavy YouTube ads targeting diabetes-related content. Relatively low competition for smaller CGM suppliers in this space.

5 Priority Recommendations

  • 1. Create Dexcom G7 vs Libre 3 comparison page — 720 monthly searches, low difficulty, high conversion intent. STJ already has content on both but no head-to-head page.
  • 2. Optimize "Medicare covers your CGM" content — STJ ranks #12 for "medicare coverage for dexcom g7" (110/mo). A dedicated, comprehensive page could push to top 5.
  • 3. Build product-specific landing pages — Competitors use dedicated Dexcom G7 and Libre 3 pages as ad landing pages. STJ should mirror this for better Quality Scores.
  • 4. Target "free cgm" keywords — High-volume, high-intent cluster. STJ's $0 cost angle is their strongest differentiator.
  • 5. Consider YouTube pre-roll ads — Low competition from smaller CGM suppliers. Target diabetes education content viewers.
