** Eligibility criteria: Subject to program limitations and terms and conditions, the Omnipod 5 10-day Free Trial Program (the “Program”) is open to patients who have a valid Omnipod® 5 and Dexcom G6 prescription andwho have commercial or private insurance, including plans available through state and federal exchanges, for Omnipod 5 Pods. The Program is open to new Pod Therapy patients coming from multiple daily injections or tubed pumps only who have not previously used Omnipod 5, Omnipod DASH®️or Omnipod Insulin Management System. This offer is not valid for participants whose Omnipod 5 or Dexcom G6 prescription is paid for in whole or in part by Medicare, Medicaid, or any other federal or state programs. It is not valid for cash-paying participants or where prohibited by law. A participant is considered cash-paying where the participant has no insurance coverage for Omnipod 5 or where the participant has commercial or private insurance but Insulet determines in its sole discretion the participant is effectively uninsured because such coverage does not provide a material level of financial assistance for the cost of an Omnipod 5 prescription. This offer is only valid in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. territories. Participants receiving their products through the Durable Medical Equipment or Pharmacy Durable Medical Equipment channel are not eligible to participate in the copay card program. Participants on certain commercial insurance plans may not be eligible. Please contact Insulet Customer Support at 1-800-591-3455 for details.
*** Program Details: A participant shall sign the Try Omnipod 5 Free Trial Acknowledgement through the appropriate platform provided by Insulet. Once Insulet has received the request, the request shall be escalated to Insulet’s pharmacy partner, where a request for a prescription shall be sent to the participant’s healthcare professional. If a valid prescription is received, both for the Omnipod 5 Intro Kit and the Omnipod 5 Pods, the participant’s benefits will be checked by Insulet or its partners. If the patient’s benefits check results in a monthly copay equal to or below two hundred dollars ($200), then Insulet shall issue a one-time only copay card to the participant, for a value equal to the out-of-pocket expenses the participant would have to pay for an Omnipod 5 Intro Kit. If the benefits check result in a copay greater than two hundred dollars ($200), Insulet, or its authorized partners, shall arrange for a one-time dispense of Omnipod 5 Pods at no cost to them, The Omnipod 5 Intro Kit shall be delivered to the shipping address indicated by participant in their Acknowledgment Form. Any estimate date of delivery is given solely for participant’s information and does not constitute a warranty that the Intro Kit will be delivered on said date. Insulet reserves the right to change, amend or rescind this Program, in whole or in part, at any time. *The Omnipod®5 Introductory Kit includes: One (1) Omnipod 5 Controller & Eleven (11) Omnipod 5 Pods. Each Pod can be worn for up to 3 days of continuous insulin delivery depending on the patient’s insulin requirements/HCP prescription. Extra trial Pods beyond 10 days are supplied to support flexibility in insulin regimens and an easy transition from trial to full-time user given the time it takes to both fulfill the new Rx and ship the order. In order to use the Omnipod® 5 System in Automated Mode, the User must also procure a Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitor System, which is sold separately.
