Claiming for insulin pumps and supplies through OTIP
Through the Assistive Devices Program (ADP), the Ontario Ministry of Health now provides 100% reimbursement for standard insulin pumps to eligible adults with Type 1 diabetes. Approved patients can also receive a grant of $2,400 annually (paid each quarter) for insulin pump supplies.
If you require reimbursement for insulin pumps or supplies:
-
Submit your application for funding to the ADP.
-
After the ADP has responded to your application, submit a claim to OTIP for any remaining cost of the pump and supplies. When claiming through your OTIP benefits, remember to include proof of payment and all receipts.
Benefits paid by OTIP for insulin pumps and supplies will be reduced by the quarterly grant amount from the total cost on your receipts. The remainder will be paid to you in accordance with the provisions of your contract.
For more information on claiming through the ADP, visit the Questions and Answers: Insulin Pump Therapy page on the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s Web site.
