Frequently Asked Questions

Will My Health Insurance Cover A Breastpump?

As of the first of 2013, many insurance plans began covering the purchase of breastpumps for expectant or lactating mothers under the Affordable Healthcare Act (ACA). What’s more, the law allows new purchases “in conjunction with each new pregnancy,” meaning all your children receive the same healthy benefits. But since ACA laws for breastpumps and breastfeeding accesories are still new, many providers may still be trying to understand these laws themselves. Coverage can vary by insurance company and policy type. The only way to verify your specific plan coverage is to complete the Qualify Through Insurance form. Then Aeroflow will contact your insurance provider for you and inform you of your coverage. That way you can focus on the most important thing in your life: your family.

Can I Get A Breastpump Before The Baby Is Born?

Depending on your insurance company, you may be eligible to receive a breastpump before your baby is born under your preventative care clause and up to a year after delivery. Typically, Lehans is able to dispense your breastpump between 30-60 before your due date. Once you complete the Breast Pump Insurance form, we will contact insurance for you to find out the exact details of your coverage.

What Is The Cost For Upgrade Pumps?

Lehans currently offers breastpump upgrade options for Medela, Hygeia and Ameda brestpumps. Breastpump coverage all depends on your particular insurance and plan; there is no one-cost-fits all regarding insurance-grade breastpumps or upgrade pumps. If you are interested in an upgrade option pump, you will need to complete the Breast Pump Insurance form before we are able to determine any costs. Don't worry Lehans takes care of all the phone calls with your insurance and will notify you of your specific coverage details. Lehans does accept HSA and FSA spending accounts as payment for upgrade pump charges.

Why Wouldn’t My Insurance Cover A Breastpump?

Coverage and reimbursement depends on health insurance type, plan and network. Not only does private/commercial insurance versus Medicaid play a role, but your deductible and reimbursement timing do too. Whether or not you are in-network is evaluated once your information is submitted to Lehans. If for any reason you do not qualify for a breastpump through insurance, Lehans has pumps available for purchase.

What about all the paperwork? Can Lehans help??
