The Affordable Care Act requires all ACA-compliant health insurance plans to cover breastfeeding support and supplies, including a breast pump, without any cost-sharing from the patient. In Washington D.C., this means that most employer-sponsored plans, marketplace plans, and individual policies must provide breast pump coverage as a preventive benefit.
Because D.C. has one of the highest rates of employer-sponsored insurance in the country, largely due to its concentration of federal government employees, a significant number of District moms already have plans that fully cover a breast pump. Whether your coverage comes through a Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) plan, a private employer, or the DC Health Link marketplace, Pumps for Mom can help verify your benefits and identify which pumps are covered at zero cost.
