Another bcbs pump question

kimmletkimmlet member
in January 2013 Moms

When I called BCBS in December they said they'd cover a pump 100% as long as it came from a participating medical supplier.  All of the local ones I've called only provide specific respiratory equipment or other not breast pump equipment. Has anyone had any luck with an online supplier?

i ended up buying one out of pocket since it turned out that I'm EPing and would like one to keep in my office. I'm trying to reduce the number of bags I have to carry into work each day.

Has anyone had any luck finding one online that participates with BCBS?

    I purchased one through the hospital and bcbs covered it.  I went through the lactation consultant to purchase it.

    I was in the same position you were in but ended up finding one near my about 50 miles away. Have you checked the Medela website for local retailers? I did this and just called every nontoysrus/drugstore asking if they were a medical supplier.

    I have BCBS and got mine through the hospital pharmacy. Are you sure a pharmacy isn't considered a medical supply company for your plan? Mine was and it was covered 100%.
