How much do they sell the PIS if I have to pay OOP?
I asked this about the Freestyle and it was $403 which is a lot more than the $305ish that my grandma paid at BBB w/ the 20% coupon. (It was a shower gift but I was returning it if the insurance covered it).
Really? That sucks! Azoodie posted above that the pump costs $232 directly from them, not $403??

Empire - UHC does NOT cover it at all. I am very surprised by this
Remember, it totally depends on YOUR plan, not the insurance company itself. 
I have gov. plan (mostly teachers and gov employees)

Re: PSA: Update on breastpump coverage by insurance!
I called my insurance (United Healthcare) and it's not covered. 
I will most likely be getting it through this company now that I know it's much cheaper!

Re: PSA: Update on breastpump coverage by insurance!
Just called my insurance company and im 100% covered. When i called edge park they were setting up my account and getting ready to take my ins. info and dr info, i was put on hold and was disconnected. Just wondering if they asked any of you who ordered from edge park for your drs information?

I was told that if my insurance was covering it (in my case it was 50%) that it would be $116 out of pocket. They have a deal w/ the insurance (at least w/ mine/Empire) that the base price would be $232 and they go from there. However, she said to buy it from them privately is $403.

Oh that stinks. I thought their regular price would've been $232. I will change the info on the regular post...sorry

Re: PSA: Update on breastpump coverage by insurance!
Sadly, it's only partially covered if the baby is hospitalized and I have to pump.

Re: PSA: Update on breastpump coverage by insurance!
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! I just called my insurance and they cover it 100%
I have to order it through a different medical supplier - and I have to have a prescription for it - but they'll pay for it!
YIPPEE!!!
Azad, you're the best!

Re: PSA: Update on breastpump coverage by insurance!
Thank you so much for this post! I have HIP and they also covered my breast pump 100%. I just emailed them, they gave me the name and number of the supplier who required a script and copy of insurance card from the doc and I got my pump today. It's the Purely Yours by Ameda. I'm so excited that I got it for free...can't believe it. SOOO worth calling your insurance to check. Thanks again!!

Re: PSA: Update on breastpump coverage by insurance!
Does anyone have Empire Government as their insurance company? Usually they are fantastic about coverage and I am just wondering if before I make a call if they cover it or not...

Re: PSA: Update on breastpump coverage by insurance!
I have HIP Prime and I called and it's covered 100%. But the Doc has to get the authorization and then let me know how to go about getting it.
