Terms and Conditions

1. Program Eligibility

Eligibility criteria: Subject to program limitations and terms and conditions, the Omnipod® 5 Copay card program (the “Program”) is open to patients who have a valid Omnipod® 5 prescription and who have commercial or private insurance, including plans available through state and federal healthcare exchanges.

This offer is not valid for participants whose Omnipod® 5 prescription is paid for in whole or in part by Medicare, Medicaid, or any other federal or state program. 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.

The monthly benefit may be less than the Maximum Monthly Benefit based on the participant’s insurance coverage and the copay target of $50.

• Participants are solely responsible for updating Insulet with changes to their prescription or health insurance, including but not limited to, initiation of insurance provided by the government, in addition to any change in coverage terms or other offers such as accumulator adjustment benefit design or copay maximization programs. Participants shall further inform Insulet of any change or lapse in coverage for Omnipod® 5.

• Participants are responsible to provide Insulet with accurate information on their copay.

Participating in this Program means that you are ensuring you comply with any required disclosure regarding your participation in the Program. Other restrictions may apply. Health plans, specialty pharmacies and Pharmacy Benefits Managers not specifically authorized by Insulet are prohibited from enrolling participants in the Program.
