All companies are obliged to replace a pump if under warranty and it's not caused by misuse or accident. The thread is about accidental damage and or loss being covered under users ins.My Medtronic Veo casing cracked and they delivered one the next day, no questions asked.
I've heard people talking about pump insurance is it OK to just add it on your house contest as a high value item. or is it better to have a separate insurance just for the pump.
we all no what insurance company's are like for stitching people up and trying to not pay out.
I asked my nurse that, she said none of her patients have had to claim.
I'm going to continue to take syringes and a vial with me (as well as spare infusion set) if I'm going to be out of the house more than a few hours. If the pump stops working or the infusion set comes out or whatever, I don't want to be stranded with no way to take insulin.
Animas send out pump next day delivery, it doesn't matter how you inure the pump in that dept. It will only arrive as quickly as the courier can get it to you.So my home insurers (Barclays) said it should be quite easy to be covered and to make a claim but it *could* take 2-3 days and I *might* have to pay upfront and they would reimburse me.
They said the length of time would depend on how quickly the company (animas) could get one sent out to me.
I just think if feel safer if I insured it with a company that solely insures pumps?? I'm in 2 minds of what to do?? :-/
I'm sure different pump company have very different policies.Animas send out pump next day delivery, it doesn't matter how you inure the pump in that dept. It will only arrive as quickly as the courier can get it to you.
I doubt any pump company will send out a £3,000 pump without payment up front. I would suspect most hospitals have a loaner pump in such circumstances. I know Animas have loaners for holiday use spare.
I'm even luckier as have no pump clinic to bother with as care done via GP, which suits me down to the groundI'm sure different pump company have very different policies.
i know my hospital is rubbish when it comes down to pumps there is no pump clinic or center in my area
i have been very lucky and send to another pump center in a different area. after upsetting lots of people .
thanks for info

Having just read the pump ins policy, I think you need to read it very carefully. You are not covered if you go abroad is only 1 of the points I picked up on.
