Buying those used is a bargain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-wont-cover-a-breastpump#post-1969464 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 15:19:09 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1969464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh, so annoying!</p> <p>a lot of women are selling their brand new breastpumps on ebay for a fraction of the cost now! might want to try there first if you absolutely have to buy your own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-wont-cover-a-breastpump#post-1969405 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 14:40:44 +0000 snowjewelz 1969405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is so annoying! How "universal" :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-wont-cover-a-breastpump#post-1969358 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 14:11:04 +0000 cheert16 1969358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: I am not opposed to buying a used one. I actually already have one from LO #1 when we were on a different insurance plan (and got it for $40.00 copay) I just thought I could get a second one for work- and since we pay for health insurance and the affordable health care act passed- I should be able to get one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-wont-cover-a-breastpump#post-1969346 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 14:07:50 +0000 birdofafeather 1969346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: yeah, that's weird! i had a grandfathered plan and then it still changed january 1, 2013, so i was able to get it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-wont-cover-a-breastpump#post-1969340 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 14:05:22 +0000 LuLu Mom 1969340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: That's really annoying. I will say that I'm a part of some buy/sell baby groups and several women are posting their almost brand new Medela pumps for $50-75 bucks! Way less than paying full price, and you then would only need to replace the tubing/ect. I don't' know if you are against used, but I think it's okay as long as you replace all the parts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-wont-cover-a-breastpump#post-1969334 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 14:03:31 +0000 sarac 1969334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is that seriously legal? Can some law person familiar with the issue chime in? How can that even be legal? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-wont-cover-a-breastpump#post-1969310 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 13:56:41 +0000 avivoca 1969310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is so annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-wont-cover-a-breastpump#post-1969305 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 13:55:19 +0000 cheert16 1969305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: Grrr it is so annoying!!! I just want a damn pump for work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-wont-cover-a-breastpump#post-1969280 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 13:45:24 +0000 lilteacherbee 1969280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, that's exactly how mine is! And it's the state teachers insurance so a TON of women don't get their free pumps. So annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-wont-cover-a-breastpump#post-1969278 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 13:45:08 +0000 autumnlove 1969278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww! Yeah, mine only covered a hand pump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-wont-cover-a-breastpump#post-1969263 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 13:37:18 +0000 cheert16 1969263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Urg.... I am so annoyed. My stupid insurance wont cover a breast pump because they have an old "grandfathered" policy that doesn't make them susceptible to the affordable health care act! We didn't even join the policy till WAY after the affordable health care act went through..... I hate health insurance!!! </p>
