What to know about Medicare Open Enrollment
Your patients can choose a part D plan that best covers their medications, including Omnipod. Selecting a plan that fits their budget and prescription needs may help lower their costs.
What Medicare Part D means for your type 1 and type 2 Medicare patients
Unlike other insulin pumps covered under Medicare Part B, Omnipod 5 is covered by Part D. This means:
- No more qualifying c-peptide tests to get an insulin pump
- Majority of Medicare patients pay less than $50/month
- Pod therapy can start as soon as tomorrow at your patient’s preferred pharmacy
Understanding 2025 Changes to Costs and the Donut Hole
Several changes coming to Medicare in 2025 will benefit your patients:
- Coverage Gap (also known as the donut hole) will be eliminated, leading to more predictable costs for your patients²
- Annual out-of-pocket maximum for all Part D medications will be capped at $2,000, down from $3,300 in 2024²
- Medicare Prescription Payment Plan (M3P) enables Medicare beneficiaries to pick up their prescription with no payment at the pharmacy counter and spread the out-of-pocket cost over the year
