Top Insurance Questions Answered: Getting Your Breast Pump Hassle-Free

For many new moms, getting a breast pump through insurance can feel overwhelming. Between understanding your coverage, picking the right pump, and navigating paperwork, it’s easy to feel stuck. At Nu-Life Medical Equipment & Supplies, we’re here to make the process simple. We’ve gathered the most common insurance questions and clear answers to help you get your breast pump quickly, easily, and with confidence.

1. Does my insurance cover a breast pump?

Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), most health insurance plans are required to cover a breast pump at no cost to you. Coverage can vary by plan—some provide one pump per pregnancy, while others allow upgrades for a small fee. The best first step is to check your plan’s benefits or call your insurance provider.

At Nu-Life, we do the heavy lifting for you. Just fill out our online form or call us, and we’ll verify your coverage in minutes.

2. When should I order my breast pump?

Many moms think they have to wait until the baby arrives, but most insurance companies allow you to order your breast pump during your third trimester—often as early as 28 weeks. Ordering early means you’ll have your pump ready to go when your baby arrives, giving you one less thing to worry about.

3. What types of breast pumps are covered by insurance?

Coverage usually includes standard electric breast pumps, which are the most popular choice for everyday use. Many plans also cover manual pumps. If you’re looking for advanced or wearable options like the Momcozy S12, Spectra S1/S2, or Elvie Pump, upgrades may be available for a small out-of-pocket cost.

4. What information do I need to get started?

  • Your insurance card
  • Basic personal details (name, address, date of birth)
  • Your doctor’s name and due date
  • Sometimes, a prescription (though many plans don’t require one)

We make this easy—our specialists can collect all the necessary information and submit it directly to your insurance.

5. How long does it take to get my breast pump?

Once your coverage is verified and your pump is selected, shipping is usually fast—many moms receive their pump within 3–5 business days. We handle all the paperwork so you can focus on preparing for your baby.

6. Can I upgrade my breast pump?

Yes! Many insurance plans cover a basic model in full, with the option to upgrade to a premium or wearable pump for a small additional fee. This is perfect for working moms who want more convenience, longer battery life, or ultra-quiet motors. Our team will guide you through the options and help you find a pump that fits your lifestyle.

7. What if my claim is denied?

If your insurance denies coverage, don’t panic. Denials are often due to missing information or incorrect billing codes. Our experienced team works directly with your insurance provider to resolve these issues quickly and keep the process moving.
