Does Aetna Cover Breast Pumps?

Aeroflow Breastpumps is committed to supporting, helping, and empowering parents by providing the very best maternity equipment and supplies through insurance, like top-of-the-line breast pump brands, pumping supplies, and compression garments. 

Because of the Affordable Care Act healthcare reform law, Aetna covers the cost of a breast pump. Breast pumps are considered a preventative benefit, so most breast pumps are covered at little to no out-of-pocket cost (exceptions for grandfathered plans and some self-funded health plans).

For more information on the types of breast pumps that may be provided to Aetna-specific insurance plans through Aeroflow Breastpumps, check out our breast pump comparison chart through the button below.

It’s important to replace your breast pump parts. Over time, residue can build up inside of them, leading to bacteria and mold that can potentially contaminate your breast milk. Also, as your valves, breast shields, tubing, or flanges wear out or become stretched or cracked, it can affect the efficiency of your pump’s suction. 

Well, we’ve got great news, mama! Aetna covers milk bags and up to 4 sets of breast pump supplies, too. This benefit may vary from plan to plan, but if you get your breast pump through insurance using Aeroflow Breastpumps, we automatically check your eligibility and will email you if you’re eligible to receive this benefit free through Aetna.

In addition to covering your breast pump through insurance, Aetna also provides coverage for compression garments. These are medical devices that have been designed by healthcare professionals to provide support, relief, and stabilization for increased comfort during pregnancy and to assist with postpartum healing. We will automatically let you know what is covered under your health coverage once you fill out our Qualify Through Insurance Form.

Aetna Health Inc is an insurance company that was founded in 1853 in Hartford, CT, and provides innovative services and benefits to its customers. Aeroflow Breastpumps is a DME in-network provider contracted with certain Aetna policies, and together, we have been providing excellent customer service and products to mamas nationwide.

Please keep in mind that while most insurance plans will provide lactating and expecting mothers an electric breast pump for free, healthcare providers offer many different benefit plans along with varying access to health services. Some moms come to us with health insurance plans that are considered “grandfathered in,” and such plans do not follow healthcare reform. In other words, grandfathered plans will not include breast pump coverage—electric pump or otherwise. 

Always check your specific insurance policy for details on provider participation, as there may be exclusions based on your group or employer. To monitor your claims, deductible, health history, and obtain personalized health information, we recommend creating a personalized secure member account through Aetna's website. 

If your benefit plan doesn’t cover a pump, we’re still here to help! Aeroflow Breastpumps offers a wide selection of breast pump options, including double electric breast pumps, standard electric breast pumps, manual breast pumps, and other motherhood supplies at the most competitive rates through our website. We’ve got the right type of pump to meet your needs! You can purchase a backup pump, tubing, or a new set of breast milk storage bags for a low price—and shipping is on us for any order of $49!
