Preparing for your baby’s arrival comes with a lot of decisions – including choosing the right breast pump. Fortunately, most health insurance plans help cover the cost, making one decision a little easier. 

Neb Medical Services is also here to simplify this process for you. 

Instead of contacting your insurance company, comparing suppliers, and gathering paperwork on your own, you’ll be guided through each step from verifying your insurance to delivering your breast pump, with support available at each step. 

Follow along below and see how you can begin your order and receive your breast pump and little or no cost.

Step 1: Confirm Your Insurance Coverage

The first step is determining whether your health insurance plan includes breast pump benefits.

Most commercial insurance plans provide coverage for breast pumps, but benefits can vary depending on:

  • Your insurance provider
  • Your specific health plan
  • If you order through an in-network supplier
  • The type of breast pump selected

Some plans fully cover standard electric breast pumps, while others also cover wearable pumps or allow upgrades.

Quick tip: Not sure what your insurance plan covers? No problem. Neb Medical Services will verify your eligibility before you place your order.

Step 2: Gather Your Insurance Information

Before beginning the qualification process, have the following information available:

  • Health insurance card
  • Member ID number
  • Policyholder information (if different from you)
  • Estimated due date or baby’s date of birth
  • Contact information

Having this information ready helps speed up the insurance verification process and ensures your benefits can be reviewed accurately.

Step 3: Complete an Insurance Verification

Once your information has been submitted, your insurance benefits are reviewed to determine:

  • Whether you’re eligible for a breast pump
  • Which breast pumps are covered
  • If a prescription is required
  • Whether prior authorization is needed
  • If any upgrade costs apply

By verifying your insurance coverage first, you can make an informed breast pump selection with confidence. Neb Medical’s customer support team is available every step of the way to answer questions and provide assistance.

Step 4: Choose the Breast Pump That’s Right for You

After your insurance has been verified, you’ll be able to review the breast pumps available under your plan.

Depending on your coverage, you may have access to:

  • Double electric breast pumps
  • Hands-free wearable breast pumps
  • Manual breast pumps
  • Hospital-grade pumps when medically necessary

Completing insurance verification does not commit you to a purchase. You’re welcome to finish this step now and select your pump at a later date.

Every family’s feeding journey is different, so selecting a pump that fits your lifestyle and needs is an important part of the process – Neb Medical Services is here to offer support every step of the way. 

Step 5: Submit Any Required Documentation

Some insurance plans require additional documentation before approving a breast pump.

This may include:

  • A prescription from your healthcare provider
  • Confirmation of pregnancy
  • Your estimated due date
  • Other documentation requested by your insurance company

Some insurance plans may require additional documentation before your order can be finalized. If needed, we’ll let you know exactly what’s required.

Step 6: Insurance Approval

Once all required information has been received, your insurance provider reviews the request and confirms coverage.

During this stage, they may verify:

  • Eligibility
  • Covered breast pump models
  • Any required authorizations
  • Applicable patient responsibility, if any

Many approvals are completed within just a few business days, although timelines vary by insurance carrier.

Step 7: Receive Your Breast Pump

After approval, your breast pump is shipped directly to your home so you’re ready when your baby arrives.

Depending on your insurance plan, your pump may be:

  • Fully covered
  • Covered with an optional upgrade
  • Eligible for replacement parts or accessories later in your breastfeeding journey
