Omnipod® NDSS Subsidy
Omnipod® NDSS Subsidy
As of 1 December 2022, Omnipod DASH® Pods are listed on the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS). This will mean a change in how your patients access Pods, although this new pathway will still require you to determine suitability of your patients.
To access Pods under NDSS your patients must:
- Be living with type 1 diabetes and registered with the NDSS
- Lodge a NDSS Insulin Pump Consumable Access Form that is certified by a diabetes health professional, nominating Omnipod® as their insulin pump.
- Be an Omnipod DASH® System user under their NDSS registration.
How do my patients access this subsidy?
The Omnipod subsidy can be accessed with private health insurance* or without private health insurance through a no lock-in subscription payment to Omnipod.
