Has anyone called their insurance and asked about breast pumps yet? Or know of any places you can call to do the legwork for you?
I called the place BRU told us about in our "registry kit" and they were super helpful in tracking down which 2 pumps were covered for me as well as my upgrade options! Now I just have to pick one....any STM+ have any advice on which way to go?
I just did this last week. I called my insurance and they gave me a list of medical suppliers I could use. I ended up going through Byram medical supplies. I ordered online-there were 5 different options-I just had to enter my doctor's information and my insurance information. I went with the Ameda Purely Yours after talking to some mamas I know. They had the Medela which was also recommended but it was not the Pump in style advanced.
I asked for a referral to medical supply so my insurance would cover it, and the next thing I know, I have a medela PISA on my porch, and I'm only only 25 weeks (tomorrow). I thought I'd have to wait until closer to my EDD before they would release it.
I asked my insurance and they referred me to organizations/sites that they work through to get the pumps. They said that I qualify for it now so the site is just verifying my insurance and Dr. information and then they said they would send it out. I opted for the Medela Pump In Style.
I looked into it and it's not covered under our insurance. I'm really contemplate a single manual pump because I'm going to be home for 14 months so it won't be used much.
