Second Breast Pump score!

in April 2014 Moms
I read the information from my health insurance (BCBS) and it said that I could get one double electric breast pump per calendar year.  Since I ordered my breast pump last November, I decided that I would call and see if I was eligible for one now that we are in a new year.  I was!  Definitely not a necessity but I'm so excited that I can keep a pump at work now and not have to carry it back and forth!!!!

    I do this and love not having to schlep my pump back and forth. I wash my pump parts at work too so they can just stay there. Makes it so much easier! Less stuff to forget!

    I found it interesting that my insurance company would cover a breast pump but would not cover the iud I wanted (Mirena). How does that work ???

    @RedDawnsRevenge‌ - in Canada Mirena is 400 dollars and good for 5 years!!! The crazy thing is, they will pay for the pill which is about 20 dollars a month, so 240 a year x 5 years..1200 dollars!!! I'm still shaking my head over this one!

    Ya, in Ca here, and no insurance. But I agree it seems stupid from that perspective. Maybe I need to visit canada? Will they let me have the mirena for $400 or is that a locals only special?

    I paid out of pocket for my Mirena and it was only around $400 and some change.
