When Should I Order My Breast Pump Through Insurance?

Typically on average, most expecting mothers order their breast pump through insurance at around 30 weeks pregnant.

You can technically order your breast pump through insurance anytime during your pregnancy and even a year after giving birth.

The difference will be when it is shipping to you.

When Does The Insurance Company Ship My Breast Pump?

We work with many different insurance providers and each one has their own specific guidelines.

Some insurance providers will allow the breast pumps to be shipped within thirty days of your due date…

…while other insurance companies mandate that it only ships after you have given birth.

Some breast pumps are shipped to you within a few weeks of your order independent of your due date.

So the short answer is – it depends on your insurance company and when they deem a breast pump medically necessary.

We work with all of the major insurance providers and will be happy to check your policy for you and let you know.

It is always a good idea to be proactive and start the process as soon as possible.

That gives you one less thing to worry or stress over during your pregnancy.

Can I Get A New Breast Pump For Each Pregnancy?

Since the Affordable Care Act, breast pumps are provided for free from most health insurance providers.

Most of the major insurance companies will allow 1 new breast pump for each time you get pregnant.

Since breast pump motors can wear out after extended use, which can cause a reduction in suction, it is a good idea to start with a new one…

…and most plans include a brand new pump from some of the top manufacturers, including Spectra, Ameda, Medela, and many more.

How Difficult Is The Process To Get A Breast Pump Through Insurance?
