FYI - Breast Pump Upgrades

Just FYI - If you are ordering a breast pump through your insurance, did you know you can upgrade to a better one through some of the medical device companies for a fee? I thought I was going to have to get the ones that were listed on the websites I was looking at (my insurance company gave me a list of companies to order through), but, it turns out you can upgrade to a "better" one for a fee, but it's still below retail. For example, the site I was looking at had the Medela Advanced Personal Double Pump which is free through my insurance, but I can order the Medela Freestyle through them for a $150 upgrade charge...normally that pump is $379.99 at BRU, so it's still a good deal. Just wanted to let you know so you can ask your device providers if there are any upgrades you can do.

  • I have heard of some ladies doing this. Unfortunately the company I'm most likely getting mine through doesn't allow this (boo). But I may keep checking into it since my insurance company was absolutely no help in finding a supplier to order from. I have done all of the leg work & made all of the phone calls.
