Did you know you’re entitled to a *free* breast pump through insurance?
Hey, hey, it’s National Breastfeeding Month! And we’re celebrating by shouting it from the rooftops: You’re entitled to a FREE or discounted breast pump through your insurance!
Yup. You probably won’t hear about this from your OB, and trust me, your insurance company won’t be knocking at your door or calling you up to tell you. But this is one benefit of health insurance you should definitely take advantage of.
Health insurance plans must provide breastfeeding support, counseling, and equipment for the duration of breastfeeding. This includes the cost of a breast pump. Depending on your health insurance plan, guidelines may vary on whether the covered pump can manual or electric, how long you can rent a pump (if renting), and when you’ll receive it (before or after birth).
But the really good news is that you don’t have to spend your Saturday trying to figure out what you qualify for. We’ve got a team here at Bump Boxes that can reach out to insurance for you, verify your coverage, get a prescription from your OB, and ship the pump right to your door. Yup, we do all the work so you get what you deserve from your insurance, without the hassle.
Psst! Not sure whether you want a manual or electric pump? Expense, efficiency, equipment, and lifestyle are among the factors to consider when deciding on the type of pump to purchase. Read our super quick take on manual vs. electric pumps.
We are passionate about a Mom’s right to choose whether breastfeeding is right for her and her baby, while taking advantage of her right to breastfeeding essentials through insurance!
