Does UnitedHealthcare Cover Breast Pumps?

Many expectant moms who want to breastfeed with a breast pump are confused about how to get one through insurance. Good news, mamas-to-be! UnitedHealthcare has got your back. Most UHC plans cover a double electric breast pump at no cost to parents when ordered through an online retailer partnered with your insurance plan. If you buy a breast pump out-of-pocket at a retail store, however, UHC cannot offer reimbursement. Be sure to confirm your coverage and your breast pump supplier before purchasing. 

How Can I Get a Breast Pump Through UnitedHealthcare?

Pumps For Mom makes it easy to see which breast pumps are covered by your UnitedHealthcare plan. We also let you know any out-of-pocket cost you may owe depending on your coverage. UHC claims that some moms do not need a prescription to get a breast pump, but check your unique coverage to be sure. According to UHC, qualified members may obtain a breast pump within 30 days of your estimated delivery date. This doesn’t mean you can’t order your breast pump farther in advance! At Pumps For Mom, you can qualify for your insurance breast pump through us. Confirm your order and then relax for the remainder of your pregnancy. We make sure not to bill your insurance until you are within the range of coverage, then we will ship your breast pump. 

Does UnitedHealthcare Offer Other Support?

Every insurance plan is different, but UnitedHealthcare offers some maternity support programs that you may be able to benefit from depending on your coverage. Your plan may include lactation counseling, where you can receive individualized support to help you through the breastfeeding and breast pumping process. Some plans may also cover replacement parts for your breast pump. Others may require you to go through the warranty from your pump manufacturer.
