Get a breast pump through insurance
Guide · 14 sources · Updated October 2026
Most private health plans must cover a breast pump, replacement parts and milk storage supplies with no copay or deductible. You usually order through a medical supply company that works with your plan, often in the third trimester, and you pay only if you pick an upgrade. Medicaid covers pumps in most states, but each state sets its own rules.
- Non-grandfathered private plans must cover breastfeeding equipment with no cost sharing. HRSA's guideline names double electric pumps, pump parts and maintenance, and milk storage supplies.
- For plan years starting on or after December 30, 2022, a plan can't make you try a manual pump first before it covers a double electric one.
- Coverage lasts as long as you breastfeed, provided you stay on the same plan. A plan can't require you to order within a set window, such as six months after birth.

Frequently asked questions
Is The Mom Site free?
Yes, for families and for providers. Listings come from public federal records, providers don't pay to be listed, and every benefit figure links to its source.
Where do the listings come from?
From the federal NPI registry (CMS NPPES, September 2026 release), CMS hospital data for labor and delivery and the Birthing-Friendly designation, state Medicaid doula lists, and the Commission for the Accreditation of Birth Centers.
Does a listing mean you recommend the provider?
No. We list every active provider we can match to the registry and we don't rate, review or rank anyone. Listings are ordered the same neutral way for everyone, and no one can pay to move up.
Can I book a doula or midwife through the site?
No. Call the provider directly using the number on their listing. We don't take bookings, payments or messages on a provider's behalf.
Why do some providers show only a city?
Many doulas and lactation consultants work from home. For privacy, individuals and home-based practices are shown by city and phone only, never by street address.
How current are the benefit rules?
Each benefit page shows the month its data was checked and links to the agency or research source. When we can't confirm a state's rule, we say so and point you to the state agency instead of guessing.
