What Your Patient Needs to Get Started...​

 

from their Endocrinologists:

To access private health insurance coverage for an insulin pump, your patient will need a letter of clinical need. Our team can assist to ensure it contains the necessary details for approval by private health insurers.

 

from their GP:

Your patients will need a referral to an endocrinologist, who will provide the required clinical letter so that the patient can claim from their health insurer.
