Does Caresource Cover Breast Pumps?
Aeroflow Breastpumps is committed to helping mothers succeed by providing the very best motherhood equipment and supplies (such as breast pumps, pumping supplies, and compression garments) through insurance. We are happy to say that we are in-network with Caresource health insurance plans – which means we may be able to help you obtain the best insurance-covered breast pump for you!
Caresource Breast Pump Coverage
Because of the Affordable Care Act, Caresource covers the cost of a breast pump. Breast pumps are considered a preventative benefit, so most breast pumps are covered at little to no cost (exceptions for grandfathered plans and some self-funded plans).
Once you complete our Qualify Through Insurance Form, we will automatically check to see if your plan covers additional motherhood essentials such as new supplies for your breast pump, pregnancy & postpartum compression items, as well as lactation education!
Additional Insurance-Covered Benefits
- Caresource Compression Coverage
Aside from covering your breast pump through insurance, Caresource 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. Most Caresource plans qualify to receive compression socks through insurance. We will automatically let you know what is covered under your policy once you fill out our Qualify Through Insurance Form. - Breast Pump Supplies
It’s important to replace your breast pump parts as over time, residue can build up inside of them and lead to bacteria and mold potentially contaminating your breast milk. Also, as your valves, membranes, tubing or flanges wear out or become stretched or cracked, it can affect the efficiency of your breast pump’s suction. Caresource may cover an additional set of breast pump supplies (Double Pumping Kits). This benefit will 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 Caresource. - Lactation Support & Education
For some policies, Caresource covers lactation consultations and/or breastfeeding classes. These can both be incredibly beneficial whether you’re pregnant and preparing for your baby’s arrival or if you’re already breastfeeding and could use some help troubleshooting any issues you’re having. Again, the specifics of what is covered varies for Caresource patients, but once you fill out the Qualify Through Insurance Form, we will notify you via email if this benefit is available to you. We want to help you get as much breastfeeding support as possible for free through your insurance.
Because Aeroflow Breastpumps is an in-network provider, you can keep your out-of-pocket costs low. Another way to keep your costs minimal is to know your benefit structure before you use it – you can learn how your insurance policy will pay for costs by contacting your member services and inquiring about insurance coverage for services before obtaining them.
