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.

*Private health insurance covering insulin pumps.
