Insurer is UHC. They bounce any pump request unless it is Medtronic. They have an exclusive agreement with Medtronic – however unbelievable this sounds. It is supposed to be for adults 18 and above, but they appear to apply blanket refusals to everyone.

[EDIT] Clarification: they do not disagree with a pump, only with a pump that is not Medtronic.
