Looking to see if anyone knows the answer: My insurance company covers a breast pump, they said I…

it's supposed to cover it all

@hippiebaby89, what kind of insurance do yu have I called my insurance company yesterday nd they told me I have 2 get my doctor to fill out a pre-authorization form

@mommy2b0615, I have Amerigroup Community Care under medicaid. I just had to get a script from my midwife. I do have to call back in June to order it though, but my midwife said that a lot of other insurance companies require an authorization. That's why I changed my HMO.

@tae23, did you recieve one through your insurance?

not yet but when I called I asked them what all it covers. it's supposed to cover the pump and "equipment/supplies" I.e. the tubes and everything. the only thing I don't think they supply (although I'm not entirely sure) is the storage containers for your milk and the breast pass

pads*

When I ordered mine, through byram health care. They had a website that showed you everything you received. I will tell you this as well, the hospital gave me parts for my medela as well and charged the insurance while I was there

A friend got hers pump through Blue Cross insurance and it was the pump and accessories as well as 150 milk bags with 2 refills of the bags. She'll just have to call for the refills.

Her pump*

@tae23, I figured they wouldn't supply the bottles or containers. I wasn't sure about the hoses. I added them to my registry just in case. @hooper14 I saw the website for edgepark supply and they kinda just show a general picture, I was assuming all of that wouldn't come with it. Thanks ladies!

@keaw, really? that's not bad at all.

I just got mime and this is what I got with it

@steph11, that's the In-Style model?

yes it is I got it threw my insurance on the edgepark site it came with more breast pad samples but I stashed them somewhere

@hippiebaby89, just google what they said you'll receive and look at what it includes much faster than trying to get a response love

@steph11, thanks! @phasion I actually got my answer. I don't like looking things up on google. It sometimes makes things more confusing and I have anxiety as it is, so I try to stay away. Most of the time, the internet has misinformation.

@hippiebaby89, yes totally understand especially with articles and pregnancy lol and we don't need no worries on your head .

@phasion, on anyone's head for that matter. I've had drs tell me numerous times to stop looking things up because I'm making myself crazy. Google is horrible lol.

@hippiebaby89, yes I'm glad they told you that Google can be so informative and a curse at the same time lol it's just about what you take in .

I understand that's like looking symptoms up on good and you decide your dying that's why I love this app I'll ask my dumb questions and usually someone helps if they can

yes! it's also great venting people who don't know you personally and can't throw it in your face!
