As lactation consultants, we've seen firsthand how much the right breast pump can matter—whether you need it for the occasional bottle or as your primary way to provide breast milk for your baby. More moms than ever are able to make that happen, largely thanks to insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act. And it's making a real difference: research shows that access to a breast pump can help extend breastfeeding by up to 5 months.
Most state Medicaid plans will cover the entire cost of a breast pump, but Medicaid covers these services differently than private insurance companies. There is a wide variety in scope and coverage from state to state for those seeking assistance with pre and postnatal care under Medicaid.
With so many options available, choosing a breast pump can feel like finding the right pair of jeans: it's a process of finding the right fit that provides durable yet comfortable results to match your lifestyle. Let’s check out Medela and Spectra!
One of our top-selling and award-winning brands is Spectra. Several of their pumps are now available through our website (and can be fully or partially covered by insurance!), and they are great for all moms, new or seasoned.
