My insurance doesnt cover any breast pumps

So after Edgepark called and said they didnt participate with my insurance (Horizon BCBS) she said to call the insurance company direct to see if they have a contract with another medical supply company. But of course they dont! My company doesnt feel its necessary to cover breastpumps fully or even partially. Dont you just love these million dollar companies with a majority of woman workers that dont feel the need to help with anything maternity wise!! Just add another expense to the already high pile!!! Sorry to vent Im just so pssed off right now!!!!

Oh man, what a bummer!!! I'm still waiting to hear back from Edgepark. My order is still pending on their website, so I'm thinking that's not such a great sign. I called them on Thursday, so I thought I'd hear by now.

Re: My insurance doesnt cover any breast pumps

I called my insurance and they said they don't cover breast pumps. I thought oxford would!! but I did try having edgepark call so that is still pending. They said most likely they won't cover it before the baby is born...that they might after based on medical need...so we'll see what happens

Most of the time it depends on your specific plan not just the carrier. So maybe there is still hope if you haven't checked yet, fingers crossed for you.
