Check both your health plan and your prescription drug plan. Omnipod can be covered by both, often at different prices. The manufacturer may offer a lower "cash price" or offer extra savings to those in need. Also, Good RX and other prescription savings groups may have lower prices without going through your insurance.

Here are some ways to potentially reduce the cost of your Omnipod 5 pods:

1. Contact the Manufacturer: Reach out to the manufacturer of the Omnipod 5. They may offer discounts or programs to help reduce costs.

2. Health Insurance: Check with your health insurance provider to see if they can cover more of the cost. Some plans may offer better coverage for diabetes supplies.

3. CR3 Diabetes Association: This organization provides free insulin supplies, including insulin pumps and glucose meters, for those who qualify. You may be eligible if you don't have insurance, your deductible is too high, or your household income is below $60,000.

4. Online Resources: Look for online resources that share information about manufacturers offering free or discounted supplies.

5. Flexible Spending Account (FSA): Use your FSA to cover some of the costs. This can help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.
