Can you email me at Samantha.arceneaux at Hotmail dot com (sorry, have to do that to avoid spam bots), and I can talk to you further in depth about how to fight it?

I am a 26 year-old, recently diagnosed (12/27/17) T1D facing denial of an Omnipod by my state health insurance plan. I believe they cover Tandem or Medtronic pumps. Their reasoning for denying the Omnipod is that it is an "insulin delivery system," not a pump, and there is no evidence showing it to be more beneficial than MDIs so it is not a covered benefit... I understand you generally try to stick to pediatric cases, but I am wondering if you have any letters you have drafted specific to Omnipod? I am trying to decide if it is "worth it" to fight this, since the insurance WILL cover other pumps and I do not know that there is evidence specific to Omnipod to back up my appeal. Thank you!<br /><br />Best, <br />Hannah CareyHannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717626134558806456noreply@blogger.com
