Amerigroup covers breast pumps for eligible members, with coverage details determined by your state’s Medicaid program. As a managed care organization that primarily serves Medicaid and CHIP populations, Amerigroup administers benefits according to state guidelines. In many states where Amerigroup operates, Medicaid covers breast pumps as part of maternity benefits.
The type of pump covered — manual, electric, or both — depends on your state. Some states where Amerigroup operates offer generous breast pump benefits that include electric double pumps at no cost. Others may cover only manual pumps or require prior authorization for electric models. Pumps for Mom works with Amerigroup across multiple states and can verify your specific coverage instantly.
To receive a breast pump through Amerigroup, you typically need:
Active Amerigroup Medicaid or CHIP coverage that includes maternity benefits. Your plan must be current at the time of ordering.
Pregnancy or postpartum status. Most states allow ordering during the third trimester or within a certain period after delivery. The exact timing depends on your state’s rules.
Prescription from your healthcare provider. Many Amerigroup Medicaid plans require a doctor’s prescription or order for a breast pump. Pumps for Mom can help facilitate getting this from your OB-GYN, midwife, or prenatal clinic.
Prior authorization (in some states). Certain states require prior authorization before Amerigroup will approve an electric breast pump. Pumps for Mom manages the prior authorization process when required.
Takes less than 60 seconds. Most moms pay $0.

Amerigroup is part of Elevance Health, one of the largest health insurance companies in the United States (formerly known as Anthem, Inc.). While Elevance Health offers commercial plans under the Anthem brand, Amerigroup focuses specifically on government-sponsored programs — Medicaid, CHIP, and Medicare — serving low-income and vulnerable populations.
This specialization means Amerigroup has deep experience with Medicaid benefit structures, state regulations, and the needs of Medicaid members. For breast pump coverage, this means Amerigroup typically follows state Medicaid guidelines closely, and Pumps for Mom is experienced in navigating these state-specific requirements.
