INSULIN PUMP COSTS
In most circumstances, the cost of an insulin pump is covered by private hospital insurance, depending on the patient’s level of cover. Patients may also be eligible to access Medtronic’s Bridge the Gap program if they are serving out their health fund waiting period.

CGM is not currently covered by most private health insurance policies, in order to allow greater access to CGM technology, we currently offer your patients subscription plans.
MEDICARE REBATES
The Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) items allow a range of existing specialist consultation items to be provided via video conferencing.
