17 June 2025 | Funding clarification
We've had some queries from pharmacists about the funding for those switching from MiniMed pumps to another funded pump. We can confirm that the "Maximum of 1 insulin pump per patient each four-year period" rule does not apply for people changing from a funded Medtronic pump to the Tandem or YpsoPump.
They can receive a funded pump, even if they got their Medtronic pump less than 4 years ago.

What's changing for the MiniMed insulin pump
Pharmacists: 4-year rule doesn't apply
The "Maximum of 1 insulin pump per patient each four-year period" rule does not apply for people changing from a funded Medtronic pump to the Tandem or YpsoPump. They can receive a funded pump, even if they got their Medtronic pump less than 4 years ago.
Who to contact
If you use a MiniMed insulin pump, talk to your diabetes specialist team about the best options for you.
