I was just there the other day, and I am on the pump (since Feb 10), so I did a dual wave bolus 60/40, 1 hour later. I tested 2hr post and my bg was 7.7 so pretty good. Then 2 hrs later, (I didn't…Continue

Cherise replied to Luvnliv's discussion 'Pump Insurance'"If you can get this with homeowners insurance do you think they could cover it on renter's insurance? Need to look into this with Geico."
Cherise replied to Luvnliv's discussion 'Pump Insurance'"Hmm...maybe pump manufacturers need to offer insurance on them for if its lost or stolen. I know with any of my pumps I've had (Medtronic first and now Omnipod) any sort of error I would get a new one rushed to me. My Omnipods meter and remote…"
Pumper1994 replied to Luvnliv's discussion 'Pump Insurance'"Many many years ago, I lost my pump surfing (I forgot I had it on). My medical insurance replaced it HOWEVER I cannot remember if it was that they had never bought me a pump on that plan or if my current pump was out of warranty.
In either case the…"
Cathy replied to Luvnliv's discussion 'Pump Insurance'"I have a separate policy for my pump on my homeowners policy. Cost me $65 a year in case I lose it or it gets stolen. Not sure how I"d let either of those incidents happen but I figured it was better then coming up with the full amount to…"
Jeff replied to Luvnliv's discussion 'Pump Insurance'"Hi all. Because of this discussion (and am a new pump user) I called my State Farm agent today and asked if my renter's policy covered theft, fire, etc. I explained that health insurance paid for it but would not replace it unless it broke or…"
E-J Ohler replied to Luvnliv's discussion 'Pump Insurance'"All pump manufacturers will replace a pump overnight for breakdown but not for lost or stolen. I on purpose put a rider on my home (renters) insurance for my pump and my Continuous Glucose Meter as they are so expensive. It is like a rider for…"
acidrock23 replied to Luvnliv's discussion 'Pump Insurance'"I think the manufacturers would cover it if it's under warranty. You might have to have some sort of "pump carcass" to send them. I've worked in a claims office for 17 years and have encountered exactly *zero* pumps although I…"
Daisy Mae replied to Luvnliv's discussion 'Pump Insurance'"i have worked w/ Metronic for about 11 yrs now. naturally, i have had my problems with both supplies and my pump. in all my time, Metrontic has been there for me. i am currently on my 3rd pump (which i love: the Paradym with the Bolus Wizard). ive…"
Tough Type 1 replied to Luvnliv's discussion 'Pump Insurance'"It depends on what insurance company you have, some will add a SPP or Scheduled Personal Property rider or a PAF. You would pay extra for the additional pump coverage"
musicman88 replied to Luvnliv's discussion 'Pump Insurance'"I called my home owner's insurance and they said it would be covered under contents of my house. They don't offer riders on medical equipment in any case."
Kelly Collins replied to Luvnliv's discussion 'Pump Insurance'"I damaged mine in water this past weekend and it was under warranty so I got a new one no questions asked. Luckily I had a spare at home that I used. If you were not in your warranty period I'm sure they would send you a loaner as well while…"
NiceDiabetes replied to Luvnliv's discussion 'Pump Insurance'"I got told when I got mine that in the case of the pump stopped working it was under the manufacturers warranty. Ive had 2 pumps stop working (Cozmos) and both times Ive had them replaced. The second time I got my Medtronic instead.."
Timothy replied to Luvnliv's discussion 'Pump Insurance'"My mother always said I would forget my head if it wasn't attached. Well lucky for me my pump IS attached. I haven't lost one yet !"
christy replied to Luvnliv's discussion 'Pump Insurance'"Oh I am definately going to do that as well, however lol I'm not even a year into my pump yet, so, I've got a ways to go before insurance can get me another. I don't anticipate on losing it, BUT I'd hate to have to come up with 6…"
Terry replied to Luvnliv's discussion 'Pump Insurance'"I inquired many years ago with my renter's insurance company. They said I would have to get a rider to the policy but the price was too high to make rational sense. I decided to "self insure" against loss or theft. I've been…"
