I know that I will need a breast pump for when I go back to work but do I need to have it before he is born?

all she did was give me the prescription and say go get one @latia0321 smh and there is no buybuy baby near me do I order it offline?

Basically your doc is supposed to call insurance and provide an prescription for the pump... I'm surprised u have to wait that long

I did but they won't send it until 30 days prior to your due date.

someone who accepts Tricare insurance. I went through buybuybaby

order through a provider? what does that mean? @calaboss

They also don't cover hospital grade unless your baby is a premie

I went and got a paper prescription from my Dr at naval and then ordered through a provider and got it less than a week later

how did you not buy it in advance they told me I had too @calaboss

I have Tricare and I just got my pump, I didn't purchase in advance. also they only cover certain ones. be careful about purchasing one they don't cover, they will only pay you back the price of the ones they do cover

no I have tricare military insurance and they just started like last month so thats the way they do it @latia0321

Really??? Was it because u called them last min? That's just new to me

my insurance will reimburse me. I have to buy it first and send proof of purchase in and wait for when they send the check @latia0321

I started pumping every two hours the day of my sons due date, I entered the hospital upon his delivery with ten ounces of milk. Normally children lose birth weight, my nurse said it helped my son after our emergency c section

U know insurance does pay for it right

Yesss so u be prepared. U can "pratice " it . Easier that way . Anythjng can happen u know ?
