So if my insurance approved my breast pump a month before I deliver and my doctor won't approve it until 6 weeks post partum has any one ever been told this this crap? Now I can't get a breast pump because they won't sign the prescription until I have my baby and wait 6 weeks just for them to fax back a piece of paper said it's not necessary to have one
@nwmomma2 I wish my Dr was cool
@betty.crocker That was the same process I went through with my first baby.
@jaskeana I went through Aeroflow too and had no problem at all. My pump is actually being shipped today, but my doctor had no issue with giving me a signed prescription that Aeroflow needed for final approval.
@nrj28 I know 6 weeks is terrible
@jaskeana after you have the baby you should be able to get any doctor on call to sign the prescription. Or even a lactation consultant or midwife. 🤷♀️ Ps he's a jerk - I needed a pump shortly after birth and definitely couldn't have waited 6 weeks!
@mommie_2x it is crazy I thought the insurance company who is paying would be concerned about me selling it not the Dr.
@betty.crocker see everyone says there insurance it's not them it's the Dr. I need them to approve my prescription my insurance has already approved it
@mct yes we do have them I just wanted to get the Spectra s2 something I liked not something they want me to have and my insurance had already approved me for it . It's the dr.office not faxing back my paperwork
My insurance doesn’t allow you to get them until after the baby is born. My midwife gave me the prescription when I got discharged from the hospital and we just stopped by the medical supply place on the way home.
@jaskeana right but no one ever does that. no one wvwe wants to play the honest factor !
@uncouth I wish I had your Dr . This is insane I'm high-risk at that so this is really irritating me
Do you have lactation consultants at your hospital? Here lactation gets your pump for you so you don't have to worry about it. They do it before you even leave the hospital with your baby
@mommie_2x lol see they just keep telling me bs I rather them be upfront and say they think I'll sell it
@jaskeana uh nope I'd be calling my insurance company.
@mamaofzuri I went through areoflow who did u use
yea because my womens care said the same thing, we cant give it to you until you have the baby, because ppl sell them like why would I sell it if i have plans to breastfeed ? If I sell it what am I going to do take that money and buy another 1 NOT ! lol
@jazz girl nope I'm currently going back n forth with a doctor I'm due June 21 there saying they won't sign it until 6 weeks post partum
@mommie_2x but you could still sell it after you have the baby my doctor has no right to tell me when or how to feed my child like I'm due June 21st if they don't sign it I won't get until August 10 or so and I have to go back to work with no milk saved
@bjohnson120590 right I already had everything done in December it's been processed they just needed my prescription from them
@jazz I'm in Ohio I have caresource they already approved it to be sent may 22nd it's my doctor's office holding me up
they so that because ppl sell them.
I've never heard of the Dr not signing the prescription. Especially not as late as 6 weeks. The latest I've heard is a few moms getting their script when they were leaving the hospital from giving birth.

LADIES!!! OMGOSH!! REMEMBER ME COMPLAINING ABOUT AEROFLO.COM ONLY APPROVING ME OF A 35$ SINGLE EVENFLO BREAST PUMP!?! WELL I GOT ADVICE TO CALL ANOTHER COMPANY CALLED EDGEPARK BREAST PUMP, THANK GOODNESS I DID BECAUSE I'M APPROVED FOR ONE OF THESE 4 👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
SO I NEED YOUR ALL OPINIONS WHAT ONE IS THE BEST CHOICE?? PLEASE HELP ME!! I CAN'T ORDER UNTIL DECEMBER 14TH THOUGH BECAUSE OF MY INSURANCE.
My insurance covers my breast pump. I just have to get one.
Does anyone have medicaid from Texas and got approved for the breast pump?
