Another question ladies: How do I go about receiving a free breast pump through my insurance? and if…

call your insurance and see if they do that, Medicaid won't anymore - and Medela is the best

thank you! @sarahemccormick

I have the spectra s2 because a good friend of mine said that while she loved her medela the spectra was 100 times better! and it is pretty freaking awesome! but yeah call your insurance or lookup edgepark and see if they work with your insurance

okay, thank you! I appreciate it!!! @littlemissrainesmommy

I have state Medicaid. But it's united health care and I'm approved

That's weird.. I have Select Med Plus as primary & my secondary is Medicaid & Medicaid is picking up my breast pump.. I just have to get a RX from my Doctor & take it in to Peterson's Medical & it's covered..

I have united health care too @klove2016 oh okay so I should be approved through medicaid @bree_55

@mommakaz, Last time I checked Medicaid was covering them.. I work with a nurse weekly on my pregnancy.. it's a program they offer to new moms who are on Medicaid.. it's covered here in Utah so it should be everywhere else right?? & yeah.. it would have to go through your primary insurance first & then it goes through your secondary but both of my insurances will pick up the breast pump.. I would call your insurances to be safe because every plan is different.. but I'd say it is..

@bree_55, awesome, thank you so much! I'll see what's up with them. I really want to breastfeed, ive been worried about affording a pump though.

@mommakaz, I've been worried about it too.. probably TMI but I have flat nipples so I ordered these things called supple cups off amazon they are supposed to help & I know pumps are expensive.. you should be fine being double covered..

I have medicaid and just got mine free in the mail yesterday. I was only approved for the Ameda for free unless I paid to upgrade. I'm sure every state is different though. I used the aeroflow website. Super easy!

@bree_55, oh wow I didn't even know those existed. that's good to know! thanks! @jacesterlingsmommy oh okay, I'll check into that for sure. thank you!!
