Omnipod® is covered under Medicare Part D!

The #1 prescribed insulin pump¹ Omnipod 5 is the first and only tubeless Automated Insulin Delivery system FDA-cleared for type 1 and type 2 diabetes covered by Medicare Part D!

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:

  1. Coverage Gap (also known as the donut hole) will be eliminated, leading to more predictable costs for your patients²
  2. Annual out-of-pocket maximum for all Part D medications will be capped at $2,000, down from $3,300 in 2024²
  3. 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
