Two minutes from start to finish. Here is a quick walkthrough of getting your pump through insurance.
Which pumps can you get through Rhode Island Medicaid?
Most Rhode Island Medicaid plans cover a manual or standard double electric pump, but plans differ, and not every plan covers double electric, wearable, or wireless pumps. Hospital-grade pumps for personal use are not usually included, though a rental may be covered when it is medically necessary, for example while your baby is in the hospital.
If your plan does not include a pump, call us and we will talk through your other options, including WIC.

Rhode Island Medicaid questions, answered
Does Rhode Island Medicaid cover a breast pump for me?
Many Rhode Island Medicaid plans cover a breast pump at little to no cost to you, but Medicaid coverage rules vary by state and plan, and some cover a pump only when it is medically necessary. You will need a prescription from an OB/GYN, midwife, nurse practitioner, or another licensed provider, and we can request it from your doctor for you.
What types and brands of breast pumps does Rhode Island Medicaid cover?
Most Rhode Island Medicaid plans cover a manual or standard double electric pump, but plans differ, and not every plan covers double electric, wearable, or wireless pumps. Hospital-grade pumps for personal use are not usually included, though a rental may be covered when it is medically necessary, for example while your baby is in the hospital. If your plan does not include a pump, call us and we will talk through your other options, including WIC. You can choose from brands like Medela, Spectra, Elvie, Zomee, Eufy, and Momcozy.
Do I have to pay an upgrade fee with Rhode Island Medicaid?
No. Rhode Island Medicaid orders are for fully covered pumps, so we only show you pumps with no cost to you. Start your order and we will show every pump your plan covers.
How do I find out if a specific breast pump is covered?
You can contact Rhode Island Medicaid directly to go over your benefits, but you do not have to. Start your order and we will confirm your coverage and show you every pump your plan includes, with exact pricing.
What if my Rhode Island Medicaid plan does not cover a breast pump?
If your plan does not include a pump, call us and we will talk through your other options, including WIC.
When can I order my pump?
You can order any time once you have a prescription for lactation support, during pregnancy or after your baby arrives. Depending on your plan, we may not be able to ship until later in your pregnancy, and we will tell you when your pump can go out. Many moms order in the second or third trimester so the pump is ready before delivery.
