Durable Medical Equipment providers in Houston?

elanbennon

Hello all you Houston mommas!  Has anyone had any luck finding a durable medical equipment (DME) provider in the Houston area that sells breast pumps?  I have BCBS of TX insurance and have to get one from an in-network DME supplier in order for it to qualify for coverage.  Any and all guidance is appreciated!

Hey, I have BCBS TX too and I asked them for a list of DMEs because I was having the same issue. The ones they gave me weren't local, but you can order and they ship it to you, all covered by insurance. FYI, I emailed the Byram one and they said they offer the Ameda Purely Yours, the Medela Advanced and a PJ's Bliss pump. They won't start processing your order until 30 days before your due date.

I used Sterling Medical Equipment, but you can go onto the BCBS website and look up durable medical equipment providers.

Go to BCBSTX.com. Select the 'Find a Doctor', Select your network, under Provider Type - Speciality select 'Durable Medical Equipment' and then your zipcode. The only ones I could find that offered breast pumps were Mail Order only & the one I got was an Ameda Double Electric pump. I'm not due until October but I ordered mine very early and got it within a week. BCBS originally only paid for manual pumps but as of June, I think, they started offering electric pumps as well through in-network providers.

Hope this helps!

Try the Medicine Shoppe off of Scott st. I was Dept Head of DME there so I know they do it. If you need their number let me know
