Summary
Insulet Corporation has issued a recall for the Omnipod 5 system (a tubeless insulin delivery device). This recall does NOT affect the Omnipod 5 Pod, Omnipod DASH, or compatible Android devices with the Omnipod 5 App. Billing teams should verify affected equipment with patients and providers to ensure claims are not submitted for recalled devices.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team should coordinate with clinical staff to identify any patients currently using the recalled Omnipod 5 system. Review any pending or recently submitted claims for Omnipod 5 system charges and verify the specific device type (recalled system vs. Pod/DASH/compatible devices). Flag claims for the recalled Omnipod 5 system for potential denial or correction. Update any internal device inventory or tracking systems to note the recall status. Ensure providers are aware that continued billing for the recalled device may result in claim denials and compliance issues.
