Breast pump benefits

How to order your breast pump
Your breast pump benefit covers one dual suction, double-channel electric breast pump at 100% with a physician's prescription, every 12 months when purchased from an in-network provider (such as your OB-GYN). A new prescription is required when requesting a new or replacement pump. Additional pumps may be obtained at your expense. Limit to one pump every 12 months.

When to order your pump
Members can order a pump as early as 30 days prior to their due date or once baby is born if they deliver prematurely.

Where to get your pump
You may obtain the breast pump and supplies from a contracted (in-network) provider (such as your OB-GYN). Not all providers are contracted to supply breast pumps (or associated supplies), so confirm with your provider if they are contracted with your medical network to supply pumps. A list of nationwide breast pump providers is included below — these providers can ship on a nationwide basis. Providers may have different brands or models in stock, which are subject to change.

If you choose to use a non-contracted (out-of-network) provider, you will be responsible for all costs as outlined in the plan brochure. You will not be reimbursed for a pump or supplies purchased at a retail store.
