Breast Pump

Hey ladies, I am getting ready to purchase a new breast pump.  With previous pgs, I used the Medela Pump in Style.  Is this still a good one?  Insurance will cover most of it, so I am open to anything not hospital grade... I need an electric one/battery one, as I will be pumping at work.  Any suggestions would be amazing!

    I just bought an Ameda double electric pump. I had a lot of mom's recommend it. What sold me on it was that it's a closed system.

    My insurance sent me the Ameda Purely Yours double electric pump. Haven't used it yet but it seems like it'll get the job done, and I've heard good things about it.

    This question has been asked a lot - when I was trying to figure out which one I wanted I found that searching previous threads was great. Also try searching the March and February boards since those ladies have already used their pumps. Good luck! I was having heart flutters when I went to order. I personally ended up going with Medela because of their great customer service and easy access to parts.

    I have not figured out which one I am getting yet but did want to mirror the sentiment that you shoudl check with your insurance...I just learned that they will cover 100% of my breastpump, which is fantastic news. And if I choose one that is more expensive than what they provide, I can just pay the difference.

    Yes, my insurance will cover 90% of any non hospital grade pump (Yea!!)  So I can basically buy anything on the market.  Thanks for the advice to search...

    My insurance said it has to be ordered from a medical supply and not like target.

    You may want to check that.

    Mine is covered 80% under 1000

    My insurance will cover 100% either through medical supply or 90% of one I buy at a store as long as it is not hospital grade.  So I'm good to either buy one or to go through medical supply depending on what pump I want.

    I went with the Medela "in style" since this is one of the options that my insurance covered at 100%. The only thing I paid for was the shipping. I opted for this one because the lactation consultant at my OB clinic recommended it and if I have any trouble with it she can help me out. I am sure that the others are great too.

    I have Cigna Insurance & had to go through their medical service provider, Care Centrix, to order mine. It was 100% covered - they send what is in stock. I just got mine in the mail yesterday (faxed my prescription from my OB last Friday). I received the Ameda Purely Yours double electric pump. FTM & no experience with pumps yet, but it looks like it will get the job done.
