Empowering your patients with AccessPlus

By participating in this program, healthcare professionals can offer their patients a flexible, manageable way to integrate diabetes management technology into their daily lives. This approach can help bridge the gap for patients who might otherwise delay or forego this crucial aspect of their diabetes care.

This program will merge our existing Loan Programs (Bridging the Gap, Out of Warranty, Loyalty) into one program. The aim of this is to simplify the process for yourself and your patients, as well as allow more people access to the MiniMed™ 780G system up to 12 months.

 

Eligibility requirements for your patients:

  • Obtain a compatible Medtronic CGM through National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS).
  • Currently have Private Health Insurance (PHI) that includes Insulin Pumps or the ability to pay $AUD 8,574.
  • Not currently using an in-warranty or loan Medtronic MiniMed™ 770G or MiniMed™ 780G insulin pump.

Please review terms and conditions attached to the loan of a Medtronic pump which are outlined in the attached document and should be fully understood before starting the program. A loan pump is only provided upon approval of the completed application, and at the discretion of Medtronic Australasia Pty Ltd.

Application completed – What to expect next?

To ensure that a pump is delivered in a timely manner, please ensure your application is complete - application will not be processed until all documentation is received.

Once Medtronic has received your completed forms, the loan pump will be dispatched to the address identified in your application. (Please note: if approval has been provided by your Healthcare team for a remote start, the pump will be sent to your home address – appropriate training still needs to be undertaken by your diabetes service). Your diabetes service will contact you and will discuss with you how to access insulin pump consumables through the NDSS, your consumable requirements and book a pump initiation date. It is important to order your pump consumables through NDSS prior to your pump start date.
