I asked the Maternity Boutique at our hospital if they were a DME and the lady said not yet, but they're in the process of becoming one. I'll have to check if they quality as an in-network hospital (which it should be since it is for L&amp;D). Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-breast-pump-thread#post-533022 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:46:12 +0000 CarrieLouWho 533022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My insurance told me to check with the hospital too! Luckily I found one through a DME provider but its a great tip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-breast-pump-thread#post-532861 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 20:53:24 +0000 banana 532861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good tip! I was able to get my pump through Edgepark in July, right when the Affordable Care Act went into play for breastpumps. So I was able to get mine relatively easily. Yay for finding a pump through the hospital! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-breast-pump-thread#post-519148 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:16:05 +0000 allison 519148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know there have been many discussions about breast pumps and the Affordable Care Act here recently. I also know that some people's insurances only cover manual pumps (which is crazy, I think). My personal issue was that I couldn't find a provider that has any pumps in stock because of the huge number of patients ordering them right now. Every company I called isn't even taking orders because they're so backed up. </p> <p>Anyway, I just wanted to relay my recent success story, in case it helps someone else in a similar position. I called the hospital at which I'll be delivering, and they have pumps! In stock! They're not listed as a DME provider but I can still get one from them since they're an in-network hospital. So if you can't find a regular DME provider that has a pump, check your hospital!</p> <p>I can't wait to go pick up my Medela PIS :) </p>
