Hi all :)
I'm trying to find a price for the omnipod, can't seem to find the price anywhere. Can anyone help at all? Thanks.
 
What country are you in?
Bear in mind the major cost of OmniPod is the ongoing cost of the pods.

I believe each pod costs about £20, unlike other pumps where you change just the cartridge and cannula with those the pod is the pump

i don't think you can purchase one either without a private prescription for it, but you could email insulet and ask these details.. they will even send you a free (non working) sample

When I was using it about 5 years ago, I think the handset was £400, and each pod was £20. The hospital were ultra strict that you could only have 10 pods a month because of the cost, so if one was painful, but still working ok, you had to grin and bear it.
