Not necessarily, but it's probably easier. So my doctor wrote me a prescription for pharmacy that had select pumps, & other "premium" pumps I had to pay extra to get. My insurance offered the same "premium" pumps for 100% free.
I also would call them to make sure it's actually covered. Not every insurance company does. But they will tell you what you need. For instance I have to have a prescription from my doctor to get mine.
You call and make sure they cover a breastpump && then they will tell you ur limits, I had a $300 limit for a prescription and if it was higher than $300 I needed an authorization from my Dr. they made me wait until July 23 too actual process my order even though I applied june 21. Since that was my insurance company policy....The insurance company themselves cannot order the breastpump they will tell give you a list of places you can get it from but I personally used edge park and got the Medela double pump and it was super easy! They processed it July 23 and it was shipped July 27 and I get it Tuesday ! I hoped this helped ☺️

No. You can use either edgepark.com or aeroflow breastpumps and submit your info. It'll contact the provider and insurance place about it.

I would call your insurance just to be safe and they will tell you which ones your covered for. Some make you wait until your pass 28 weeks

I didn't have to. Aeroflow did it for me.
