OmniPod® patients now have access to a dedicated toll-free Helpline if they should experience any co-pay or coverage issues with their FreeStyle® Test Strips (877-654-9975). Upon dialing this number, the patient will reach a knowledgeable customer support team member to help them navigate through their test strip coverage. As of November 2nd, patients who call the support number will also be offered the Prior Authorization Assistance Program (PAAP). The goal of the PAAP is to ensure easy access to FreeStyle test strips for new (and existing) OmniPod patients. With patient consent and HIPAA authorization, the following steps will be taken to execute on the PAAP: 1. Abbott will conduct a full Benefit Investigation. 2. From there, Abbott will both facilitate/assist in reaching out to the patient's payers and HCP to obtain the Prior Authorization (Appeal or Tier Exception) approval. 3. If approved, Abbott will be sending the PA approval and Rx referral to the patient's pharmacy of choice. . If denied, Abbott will be driving patients to participating pharmacies (major retail chains). Eligible patients may be able to benefit/receive automatic and affordable co-pay savings at participating pharmacies.

Beth and Tung Tran's son Jack was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes six months ago at the age of two (While Beth was 8 months pregnant). This episode is a fantastic look into the first few months of life with type 1 diabetes as well as an eye opening (for me) look about how things have changed since Arden's diagnosis. I was heartened by how the Tran family is embracing diabetes technology and the diabetes community online. Moreover, I was elated to hear about how their physicians made the family aware of technology and Internet based type 1 diabetes communities. Spend an hour with this delightful family - learn which Pixar movie characters their kids are named after, feel their positive outlook, hear how a Facebook group has helped them with T1 and immerse yourself in their geekdom (Tran mention's Princess Leia's bikini a lot).

I received this note from Stefanie: "I wanted to volunteer to do one of your conversational podcasts. I come across a lot of t1d parents that are intimidated by travel & my family loves to travel. We traveled internationally & domestically before diagnosis and have continued that lifestyle since diagnosis. For example, my daughter, Randi, was diagnosed 1 year ago in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and we went on a cruise 8 weeks after diagnosis. I'm hopeful that sharing our experiences will help make parents more comfortable with the idea of traveling the globe with their t1d kiddos." show notes: TSA on Instagram Frio Insulin Cooling Cases Arden's Day Juicebox Podcast Life Is Short, Laundry Is Eternal: Confessions of a Stay-At-Home Dad Social Media Follow on Twitter Juicebox Podcast - Arden's Day Follow on Facebook Juicebox Podcast - Arden's Day Follow on Instagram Juicebox Podcast - Arden's Day My Disclaimer
