BREAST PUMPS AND INSURANCE COVERAGE

Choosing, purchasing, and navigating insurance coverage for your breast pump can be an unexpected challenge in your postpartum period. To ease the process, we have partnered with Milk Moms, an organization that works directly with your insurance to help you find the breast pump of your choice that will be covered by your insurance plan. Your midwives will send a prescription request and they will inform you of your options, then ship your order directly to your home.
