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:

  1. Be living with type 1 diabetes and registered with the NDSS
  2. Lodge a NDSS Insulin Pump Consumable Access Form that is certified by a diabetes health professional, nominating Omnipod® as their insulin pump.
  3. 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.

WITH

Patients holding a private health insurance (PHI) policy may be eligible to access the Omnipod DASH® System through their insurer. If approved, their insurer will cover the cost to access the Omnipod DASH® System, providing eligibility to NDSS subsidised Pods® as a registered Omnipod user.

Once all criteria is met your patients will be able to access subsidised Pods® through an NDSS Access Point for the applicable NDSS co-payment.

The standard warranty as applied by the insurer exists.

The NDSS co-payment amount is $29.30/box for general & $22.20/box for concession card holders.

Without private health insurance, your patients will need to purchase a no lock-in subscription payable to Omnipod Australia at a monthly cost of $168.27, to access the Omnipod DASH® System, providing eligibility to NDSS subsidised Pods® as a registered Omnipod® User. The no lock-in subscription can be made in either monthly or quarterly instalments.

If payment obligations are not met, Omnipod User status will be removed and subsidised Pods will not be accessible until remaining gap has been paid.
