My new insurance didn't hesitate at all in helping me get a pump and they even have better options than my old insurance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-pumpinsurance-question#post-2006689 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 12:07:30 +0000 gilmoregirl 2006689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was born in April, and my insurance changed in August. My previous plan didn't offer anything besides a manual, but in December I called my new company and they referred me to an in-network supplier. I filled out the online order form and the supplier contacted my OB to confirm I'd had a baby when I said I did. My pump arrived two days later. No questions asked, even though my kid was 8 months when I contacted the insurer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-pumpinsurance-question#post-2006681 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 12:01:17 +0000 Kelley_lovelikecrazy 2006681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your new insurance legally has to provide you with a pump if you do not have one. Now - your new plan could just give you a manual pump :l but they have to give you something. </p> <p>Just tell them you waited to see if you'd need one and now you do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-pumpinsurance-question#post-2004623 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 17:51:15 +0000 Foodnerd81 2004623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: if you can't irder it online tonight, definitely call your new insurance this week. I was able to order one with my new insurance in January, after having my baby in July. Different plans have different lengths of time you can order. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-pumpinsurance-question#post-2004501 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 16:28:43 +0000 Little Misters Mom 2004501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go to your insurance companies website and look to see if they have a recommended supplier. Many of those allow you to order online. If you place your order before midnight you should be covered.</p> <p>ETA: I ordered mine here: <a href="http://yummymummystore.com/insurance/insurance-pumps.html?dir=asc&#038;mode=grid&#038;order=sort_priority" rel="nofollow">http://yummymummystore.com/insurance/insurance-pumps.html?dir=asc&#038;mode=grid&#038;order=sort_priority</a></p> <p>I have Aetna, but I think a lot of insurance companies are offered. As long as it is still sealed you can return it, so you should definitely give it a shot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-pumpinsurance-question#post-2004499 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 16:26:07 +0000 Cole 2004499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Coral: That's probably my best bet, thanks. I really hadn't thought about it in terms of waiting until leave is almost over so it's nice to have some perspective! Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-pumpinsurance-question#post-2004481 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 16:16:40 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2004481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have your new insurance cards yet? You could call the number on the back. I'd be surprised if they wouldn't fill the script for you. Many women probably wait until their maternity leave is close to being over to get a pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-pumpinsurance-question#post-2004480 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 16:16:28 +0000 Cole 2004480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: They closed already :sad: . It's not the end of the world but it would have been nice to have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-pumpinsurance-question#post-2004478 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 16:13:18 +0000 regberadaisy 2004478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: is there anyway they would take your information over the phone and run it through today? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-pumpinsurance-question#post-2004470 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 16:07:08 +0000 Cole 2004470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so mad at myself, I had my baby in October and got a prescription for a breast pump. It was a pain to get to the place to pick it up and it wasn't a huge priority so I forgot about it. Now it's the end of the year and effective tomorrow we have new insurance, it's too late to pick it up today. Can I still get one under my new insurance? </p>
