Fairview Southdale - do they sell pumps?

LMK613

I spoke with my insurance company & they said a breast pump is covered (probably 100%...if not at least 80%) as long as i get it from a medical supply place...such as a hospital.

I'm delivering at Fairview Southdale & I'm wondering if any of you ladies know if they have pumps available to buy?  Or is it only to rent?

TIA!

I know that you can buy one a crossed the street at the Medical building. They have a pharmacy right inside to doors where I had bought new stuff from there

There is a pharmacy right across from the hospital that sells pumps.  That's where I got mine.  

FYI - you will need to pay for it up front and once they get reimbursed from your insurance they'll send you the check.  I delivered on 5/4 and am still waiting for my check (not FV's fault though - they have been very good at following up with me and the insurance company).

I went to Meadowbrook in St. Louis Park to get mine.  It's the first location in the link that opens up.  They were wonderful.

I had my OB fax them the Rx for the breast pump.  When I got there, they had be pick out the pump that I wanted.  It all billed through the insurance and I didn't have to pay anything that day.  My insurance only paid for 85% or something, so they sent me the bill for the rest of it.  Very good experience.  I didn't deliver at that hospital, and I had been using a different (cheaper, not as good) pump until I realized that my insurance paid for one.  This hospital was closer to me than the one I delivered at so that is why I chose to go there.
