Anyone with Anthem Blue Cross gotten replacement parts for their pump covered through insurance?

Hi! I am having a hard time getting a straight answer on this. Anthem BCBS said they won't cover replacement parts/pumping supplies, but Aeroflow is saying I could be eligible for that coverage. But they said they can't verify for sure until 90 days after my due date. Has anyone successfully gotten pump replacement parts/pumping supplies covered under Anthem BCBS? I live in TX, but my company is headquartered in VA, which is where it looks like my insurance plan is ran through.

I don’t know what you mean by replacement parts. You mean tubing/flanges? Or actual mechanical parts? Is this for a pump you had before for another child?

I don’t have BCBS but my insurance covered a new pump for each kid. That being said, accessories/tubing/flanges (beyond the stock set that came with the pump) were OOP and not that expensive that I would press the insurance to cover them. 

If you have mechanical pump issues, you could check the warranty info.
