How much is Omnipod without insurance?

Omnipod is a brand-name medical device. It is an automated insulin delivery (AID) system that is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the management of both Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. The cost of the Omnipod system without insurance depends on the model: Omnipod 5 costs $797 for 1 box of 10 pods, whereas Omnipod Dash costs $767 for 1 box of 10 pods.

Currently, there is no generic for Omnipod, according to Sue Ojageer, Pharm.D., founder of Pharmacy Mentors and a 2022 Best of the Best Pharmacy Awards winner. “Unfortunately, there is no direct, lower-cost generic equivalent for the Omnipod system because it is a specialized device rather than a drug,” she explains.
