Any suggestions of breast pump

I am 11 weeks now, excited and worried about every thing, and planing to go back to work after my baby born, so need to learn and get ready for breast feeding and get a breast pump. My neighbor told me I could get a free breast pump through my insurance, she got her free breast pump through Zynitech, any suggestions on any other suppliers and brand of breast pump?

    I loved my Medela Pump in Style, so I recommend that one.

    What supplier your insurance company uses and what pumps you will be offered will dictate your choices.

    The first one (supplier) doesn't really matter. My insurance (Cigna) uses Carecentrix to coordinate this. I saw on this forum that some other people's insurance companies use multiple suppliers. In either case - doubt that matters. Just call your insurance and find out who the supplier is, or rather what the procedure is for ordering (doc writes prescription, it gets faxed etc).

    As for pump choices - the most commmon ones I've seen mentioned here are Ameda PY and Medela PISA. Again - your insurance will have to tell you what you can choose from. I had a PISA with my first and liked it, so I'm getting another one this time.

    If you want opinions on either just scroll down through this forum. A question on this pops up at lest 2-3x week.

    GL with your pregnancy! I agree to contact your insurance, since the types of coverage and the durable medical good suppliers are all dictated by your insurance (if you want it free).

    Thank you all for the suggestions!!! I have Highmark, and called DME Zynitech, they have checked my insurance, 100% covered, they are sending me a medela PIS, actually it's easier than I thought. Too many things to worry about!
