FAQs
-
Our team is always here to help, however we always recommend contacting the manufacturer immediately. All pump manufacturers require replacements and repairs to go directly through them due to the fact that these are registered medical devices.
-
Each insurance provider determines when a Bellingham mom can receive her pump, though customarily it's universally covered up to one year postpartum. You may apply for a pump at any time during your pregnancy and we will supply the pump according to your provider's specifications. For example, Kaiser Permanente of WA allows a mom to receive her pump up to 30 days prior to expected delivery date.

Yes, we do! Renting a breast pump can be more cost-effective and convenient than purchasing one for Bellingham moms. Rental pumps are regularly sanitized and maintained, ensuring that the pump is safe and clean for the next user. We provide a variety of pump models and instructions on how to use it for all Bellingham moms.

According to the ACA, all insurance plans are required to cover a breast pump however there are still policies out there that are exceptions to the rule. We'll do our best to help determine your breast pump insurance coverage based on our vast history with many policies.

Some policies require a prescription for a pump and some don't. We'll let you know if your insurance policy needs anything extra and will assist in providing forms to make it faster and easier for everyone!

Most insurance companies will cover what's called a "consumer-grade electric breast pump". This is a pump designed to be used by one Bellingham mom and is purchased for the patient rather than rented. Examples of this type of pump would be Spectra S2, Medela Pump in Style with Maxflow, etc.
-
Most Bellingham insurance providers will allow for one pump per pregnancy, though there are some that will allow for a second pump upon the next calendar year. If a Bellingham mom is wanting a second pump, we always suggest contacting your customer service specialist at your insurance company to inquire about your options.
