Our Comparison Methodology

📋

1. Provider Identification & Verification

We identify specialist insulin pump insurance providers operating in the UK market through:

→Search for FCA-regulated insurers specializing in diabetes devices
→Verification of FCA registration and authorization status

→Review of provider websites for policy details and coverage information

💰

2. Pricing Information

Pricing information is gathered from:

→Provider websites (publicly listed pricing)
→Sample quotes using standardized coverage scenarios
→Price ranges reflect typical monthly premiums (not exact quotes)

Important: Actual premiums vary based on device type, value, coverage level, excess chosen, and individual circumstances. Always obtain official quotes from providers directly.

3. Coverage Assessment

We evaluate provider coverage across these key areas:

→Accidental Damage: Coverage for drops, impacts, screen damage

What We DON'T Do (Important Limitations)

The pricing information on our site is indicative only and based on publicly available information. For official quotes tailored to your specific circumstances, you must contact providers directly.

✗ We DO NOT Verify Customer Reviews

We do not collect, verify, or publish customer reviews or testimonials. We are a comparison service, not a review platform. For customer feedback, search independent review sites or diabetes community forums.

✗ We DO NOT Audit Provider Financial Strength

While we verify FCA regulation, we do not assess insurers' financial stability or claims-paying ability. Check provider financial ratings from agencies like AM Best or Fitch Ratings if this is important to you.

✗ We DO NOT Provide Medical or Financial Advice

Our content is educational only. For medical guidance about insulin pumps and diabetes management, consult your healthcare team or visit NHS Type 1 Diabetes guidance. For financial advice about insurance, consult an FCA-authorized financial adviser.
