Best Place to Order Breast Pumps Through Insurance

If you are pregnant quite likely you are making all the necessary preparations to welcome your newborn into the world, gathering all the equipment you’ll need for you and baby.

Also it is quite likely you’ll be planning to use a breast pump for breast-feeding.

There are many varieties and styles of breast pumps and fortunately most insurance companies now offer coverage for breast pumps.

Determining all the details of what your insurance covers, which breast pump to purchase and how to order a breast pump through insurance can be somewhat daunting at first, but at Caring Touch we will make it easy for you.

Breast Pump Styles

The popularity of breast pumps is growing and with that come different styles and choices to accommodate for different needs and situations.

There are primarily three different types of pumps on the market to include manual, single electric and double electric.

Below are the basics of each; to help you determine which one will best suit your lifestyle and needs.

Double Electric Pump

The double electric pump is designed so both breasts can be pumped at once and most have a setting which allows it to be used as just a single pump as well.

This is a very popular style for busy or working moms or those who want baby to reap the benefits of mother’s milk but aren’t able to breastfeed, thus pump exclusively.

The double pump is the fastest most efficient method.

Single Electric Pump

This allows for pumping of one breast at a time.

While the single pumps are typically less costly, it is obviously more time consuming.

But for moms who are only interested in pumping occasionally, it does work well.

Manual Pump

A manual pump is designed with a lever that you manually squeeze to express the breast milk and definitely good to have on hand as an alternative.

Ordering a Breast Pump Through Your Insurance

While breast pumps are covered under insurance, in order to take advantage of this service you must go through a retailer who participates in the program.

Be aware that you can’t just walk into any retail store and expect to get a breast pump for free.
