"I have both changed jobs and had my insurance provider changed by the company I work for in the past few years. There were no problems continuing my pod coverage in either case."
ENDSwME replied to Faina's discussion 'IInsurance question' in the group OmniPod Users"From my experience, when you get new insurance you get new coverage. Before I got Omnipod I was on BCBS and had the Accu-check Spirit. I wanted to change pumps but thought I need to wait for the 4 year warranty to be up. But because I changed from…"
barbraann replied to Faina's discussion 'IInsurance question' in the group OmniPod Users"Every insurer is different and every company has their own coverage. We've had different insurers with the same company and every time the insurance switches the coverage changes. HAP covered everything including Omnipods with no questions…"

IInsurance question
I am going to switch jobs soon and I was wondering, how the insurance things work... Currently my son is using OmniPod but we are thinking of trying Animas. I was told by my current insurance, that they will pay for a switch. What happens when I change a job soon. Will my new insurance pay for the new pump again? If I want to go back to OmniPod will I ever be able to?See More

LaMejo replied to Faina's discussion 'Legs vs Lower back' in the group OmniPod Users"this post is quite old, so maybe you have figured out a new placement by now, but I have noticed no difference when I try my back. a good site for your son might also be the upper butt area, since it would be under the diaper (therefor a little more…"

marty replied to Faina's discussion 'Pods not working' in the group OmniPod Users"This summer has been brutal for me. I blame the heat!! The pod was perfect during cooler weather!! Now that the temps have gone done so have my numbers and my insulin usage. The pod failures and errors have decreased too. Using the Pod is back to…"
Brooklyn replied to Faina's discussion 'Pods not working' in the group OmniPod Users"I left them last Friday officially. It was an awful experience as they found it necessary to call me names and be incredibly rude on the way out. I have put up with so much for so long on the pod and feel like a fool now after how they treated me.…"
"Hi Brooklyn,
I am trying to leave Omnipod as well. I have had 4-5 pods fail while on me within the last 3 weeks. I fortunately did get the joyous error beep that lasts FOREVER.
I am hoping Animas will do an in warranty upgrade offer again and I am…"
jojo replied to Faina's discussion 'Pods not working' in the group OmniPod Users"I was told by my endo practice when we started pumping with omnipod or any pump, that if after 2 corrections through the pump if the BG doesnt come down , then correct with a needle and change the site. I worked as a nurse in a diabetic camp this…"
daneenm replied to Faina's discussion 'Pods not working' in the group OmniPod Users"I don't really know how soon you can reuse a site. We try really hard to alternate between 6 general sites but even within those we try not to reuse the same area at least the next time we use that site."
Faina replied to Faina's discussion 'Pods not working' in the group OmniPod Users"We are running out of sites so we are reusing the same sites a lot. This very well could be a reason. Any idea on how long it should be before using the same spot?"
