Long term complications from uncontrolled diabetes is a lot more expensive than the cost in insulin pump supplies, specifically the Omnipod!!REPORT COMMENTS

Given the costs of not adequately treating diabetes, this should be a no-brainer in long term preventionREPORT COMMENTS

It's hard enough to live with T1 Diabetes. The Omnipod makes it easier. When I retired and went on Medicare I felt like I was being punished for this denial of payment. It just doesn't make sense.REPORT COMMENTS

I used a different pump with tubing for 14 years, and while it was helpful in the management of my type 1 diabetes, switching to the OmniPod earlier this year has been life-changing for me. No longer being tethered has given me a sense of freedom that I have not felt since before my diagnosis in 1982. I cannot imagine having to go back to shots or a pump with tubing, which I will not do if the Pod is not an option for me when I switch to Medicare. Diabetes is a 24/7 chronic disease that is challenging to manage, and those who deal with it daily deserve to have choices.REPORT COMMENTS

I use the Omnipod pump and would hate to have this taken away in a few years when I go on medicare! Shots are so barbaric, and I don't every want a tubed pump. Please don't take away this amazing piece of medical equipment. We all deserve choices.REPORT COMMENTS

I work as a certified diabetic educator and it makes no sense that if a patient is using Omnipod that once they enroll in Medicare they have to earn another insulin pump. It also makes no sense to me that if a patient has been on a pump prior to enrollment in Mediare that just because they go to Medicare they must pass a C-Peptide test.REPORT COMMENTS

Not all pumps are created equal! Believe me I know. 47 years on insulin and tried several pumps. Omni Pod has it hands down. We all deserve a choice, and this is mine.REPORT COMMENTS

Omnipod is a good option for a pump, It should be equally covered by Medicaid and Medicare as the other pumps are.REPORT COMMENTS

We need this change as a Senior citizen new to Medicare and such a blow to find out my pump is not covered like it was with other insurance. Please make this change in Medicare. Health issues are a lot higher with shots than the pump. ThanksREPORT COMMENTS
