For supplies you order directly from Medtronic, a prescription may be needed from your healthcare provider. The following products will require a prescription for purchase in the U.S. or to meet insurance coverage/reimbursement requirements:

Insulin pump supplies

  • Infusion sets
  • Pump reservoir, syringes/cartridges
  • Related supplies (IV preps and adhesives, tape, pump batteries)

Diabetes supplies

  • Test strips
  • Lancets
  • Blood glucose meter
  • Related supplies (control solution, alcohol swabs, insulin syringes, glucose tabs)

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)

Our turnaround time is 1-2 business days from the time we receive your prescription from your healthcare provider to the time it is available on your account. Remember to place your supply order when you open your last box of supplies to give us enough time to begin your prescription request.

Have questions about your prescription?

Call 1-800-646-4633 and select option 2 from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. CT

Proactive Prescription Program

Most prescriptions are valid for one year and we work with your healthcare provider to get a new prescription if one is needed. If you have Medicare insurance, your prescriptions will need to be renewed every 6 months. To make sure there are no delays in your supply shipments, we automatically send a prescription request to your healthcare provider. This helps us make sure you always have a valid prescription.

If you change doctors or your prescription changes, please let a Supply Order Team member know so we can update your records. Call 1-800-646-4633 and select option 2 from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. CT. You can also update your prescribing physician information in the Profile section of your Diabetes.shop account.

If you have Kaiser insurance, this will vary slightly as we will need you to place your order directly with your Kaiser Durable Medical Equipment office. Once you place the order, we will work with them directly for your required paperwork.

Financial assistance

With the many tasks diabetes involves, one thing we don't want you to worry about is finances. We have innovative Financial Assistance Programs to help ensure that you stay on our therapy so you can continue to live your life, your way.

Visit our financial support page to learn more.

To check and see if you are eligible for financial assistance, call us Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. CT at 1-800-646-4633 option 4.

We work closely with your insurance company to make sure you are taken care of. Since every insurance company is different, expect it to take 75-90 days after you receive a new device and supplies to receive your first bill. If you purchased any accessories, and have asked to be billed directly, there will be a separate statement for these items.

If your insurance company needs more information, this may take longer. Your final out-of-pocket cost will depend on the balance from your insurance company after we have worked with them on your behalf.

Shipping

The target ship date is the anticipated date that your order will ship from Medtronic. The target ship date is based on your last shipment date and product quantity, as well as insurance guidelines. This is not a guarantee of the order shipping on these dates.

After an order is created and in process, you have the ability to change your shipping address for that particular order. Once your order is ready to ship, or if a product within the order has already been shipped, you will not be able to update your shipping address.

  1. Go to the Order details page
  2. Click Manage
  3. Update your shipping address for that particular order

Ordering

On the Home page, you can click “Create Order.” This will bring you to the “Create order” page, which allows you to “Manage scheduled orders” or create a “One-time order.” 

Scheduled orders are automatic recurring shipments of supplies that you can set up ahead of time. You can easily set up, view, and personalize your automatic recurring shipments through the new Diabetes.shop. This is the best way to ensure undisrupted shipment of supplies. You can also pause or resume scheduled order shipments based on your personal preferences. 

We’ve made ordering even easier! Tell us how many days' supply you need, along with how often you change your infusion set, reservoir, or sensor, and we will build you a custom order based on your needs.*

*Final order quantities will be fulfilled based on prescription.

Create a custom order

For scheduled orders that have not yet been created, you can pause shipments, by product, until a future date or indefinitely. For scheduled orders that have been paused, you can resume shipments at any time, by product. To view and adjust settings on your scheduled orders, please visit the Scheduled orders page. For orders that are in process, you cannot pause or resume shipments. However, you may cancel the order.

After an order is created and in process, you have the ability to change your shipping address for that particular order. Once your order is ready to ship, or if a product within the order has already been shipped, you will not be able to update your shipping address.

  1. Go to the Order details page
  2. Click Manage
  3. Update your shipping address for that particular order

Medtronic will contact you if an item is not covered by your insurance and was included as a scheduled order and provide you with options for credit card payment and/or removing the product from your scheduled orders. While insurance guidelines differ for each customer, most products that are covered and/or require a prescription (i.e., sensors, reservoirs, infusion sets, test strips, etc.) can be placed on scheduled orders.
