medical suppliers with breast pumps?

Anyone had any luck finding a medical supply company in Atlanta that has breast pumps?  My insurance covers it, but none on the list of suppliers they gave me actually have pumps, they are all for hearing aids and leg braces and what-not. 

Any suggestions?

    Can you not just buy it at the hospital? That's what my insurance told me to do.

    Hmmm, my insurance (aetna) has a whole list of providers and several of them listed breast pumps.  In fact, I was pleased to find that one company has both medela and ameda.  Of course, I haven't actually tried to order it yet (has to be within 60 days of birth) so I may not find it so simple when the time actually rolls around. Did you call and actually speak to someone there?  Also ask if you can just buy it from the hospital shop or if you can just submit for reimbursement if you have to buy retail.

    Are there any mail order ones? I got mine through carepoint medical. I called them and they did everything for me including getting a prescription from my provider. It was very painless and really easy. About 2 weeks later my pump came via UPS. I had to sign for it.

    Oh and it was an Ameda Pruely Yours. I was excited bc that's the pump I used with Ava. I think the brand depends on your insurance. Carepoint told me my insurance supples Amerda.

    I have BCBS and used Byram Healthcare, an online distributor.  Got a Medela double-electric, but not the black tote PIS.  Basically the WIC version.  Works the same though!
