Yes, Cigna covers breast pumps under the Affordable Care Act’s preventive care mandate. If you have an ACA-compliant Cigna plan — whether through your employer, the health insurance marketplace, or an individual policy — your plan must cover a breast pump with no copay, no deductible, and no coinsurance.
Cigna has long been recognized for its strong maternity benefits package, and breast pump coverage is a core component. Following Cigna’s merger with Express Scripts, the company has continued to expand its preventive care offerings. Most Cigna plans cover at least one double electric breast pump per pregnancy at no cost, with some plans also covering premium and wearable options.
Cigna members typically have access to breast pumps from trusted brands including Spectra, Medela, Lansinoh, Ameda, and Elvie. Fully covered models commonly include the Spectra S2 Plus, Medela Pump in Style, and Lansinoh Smartpump 3.0.
If you want a premium or wearable pump like the Elvie Stride, Willow Go, or Medela Freestyle Flex, many Cigna plans offer these as upgrade options. You pay only the difference between your plan’s base coverage amount and the upgrade pump price. Pumps for Mom shows you all available options and their exact costs — whether $0 or an upgrade fee — before you finalize your order.
Takes less than 60 seconds. Most moms pay $0.
Cigna plans vary in their requirements, but here is what most members can expect:
Prescription: Many Cigna plans require a doctor’s prescription or order before they approve a breast pump. This is typically a simple process — your OB-GYN or midwife writes a prescription for a breast pump, and Pumps for Mom can help coordinate this if needed.
Ordering timeline: Most Cigna plans allow ordering starting around 30 days before your due date, though some plans are more flexible. You can also order after delivery. We recommend starting the verification process early so everything is ready when you need it.
In-network requirement: To receive your pump at no cost, you must order through an in-network durable medical equipment (DME) supplier. Pumps for Mom is in-network with Cigna, ensuring your pump is covered at the maximum benefit level.

Does Cigna cover the Spectra S1 breast pump?
Coverage for the Spectra S1 depends on your specific Cigna plan. Some Cigna plans fully cover the S1 at no cost, while others cover it as an upgrade option. Enter your Cigna member ID on Pumps for Mom to see exactly which Spectra models your plan includes.
Can I get a breast pump through Cigna if I have an employer plan?
Yes. Cigna employer-sponsored plans that comply with the ACA must cover breast pumps as a preventive benefit. This includes plans through large employers, small businesses, and self-insured companies that use Cigna to administer their health benefits.
How early can I order my breast pump with Cigna?
Most Cigna plans allow ordering starting around 30 days before your due date, though some plans allow earlier ordering. We recommend verifying your coverage early — even if you cannot place the order yet, you will know exactly what your plan covers so you can decide which pump you want.
Does Cigna cover a second breast pump if I have another baby?
Yes, Cigna typically covers one breast pump per pregnancy. If you are pregnant again, you are eligible for a new breast pump even if you received one during a previous pregnancy. Verify your current Cigna coverage on Pumps for Mom to confirm.
Will Cigna cover a hospital-grade breast pump rental?
Some Cigna plans cover hospital-grade pump rentals in addition to a personal-use pump, particularly if medically necessary. This is separate from the standard purchase benefit. Pumps for Mom focuses on personal-use pumps that you keep, which are covered under the ACA preventive benefit.
