An authorized Aetna insurance breast pump provider
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, most Aetna insurance plans cover a breast pump for expecting and new moms at no cost. The details depend on your specific plan: which pumps are covered, whether supplies are included, and whether you are on a grandfathered plan that follows different rules.
You do not have to sort that out alone. The Breastfeeding Shop is an in-network, authorized Aetna breast pump provider. We check your individual policy, help you compare top-rated pumps, work with your doctor on the prescription, bill Aetna directly, and ship your pump free to your door.
What Aetna covers
- A standard double electric breast pump, typically at 100%
- Manual breast pumps, fully covered on most plans
- Wearable and premium pumps with your benefit applied, often with a small upgrade fee
- A set of pump supplies on many plans, like storage bags, tubing, flanges, and bottles
- Lactation consultant benefits and maternity compression on many plans
Benefits vary between Aetna plans, and grandfathered plans can follow different rules. Start your order and we will confirm exactly what your plan includes before you commit to anything.

Aetna questions, answered
Does Aetna cover a breast pump for me?
Most Aetna plans cover a breast pump for every pregnancy at little to no cost to you, thanks to the Affordable Care Act. 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. The exception is grandfathered plans that predate the ACA, so start your order and we will confirm what your plan includes.
What types and brands of breast pumps does Aetna cover?
Most Aetna plans fully cover standard double electric and manual breast pumps, and a hospital-grade pump may be covered when it is medically necessary. You can choose from brands like Medela, Spectra, Elvie, Zomee, Eufy, Momcozy, Ameda, Ardo, Motif, Lansinoh, and Evenflo. Wearable and premium models are available too, often with a small upgrade fee.
Can I upgrade my breast pump model with Aetna insurance?
Yes. Aetna typically covers 100% of a standard double electric pump. If you would rather have a premium or wearable pump, we apply your full benefit toward it and you pay only the difference. You will always see the exact upgrade cost before you commit to anything.
Does Aetna offer other breastfeeding support coverage?
Many Aetna plans also cover a set of pump supplies, which can include breast milk storage bags, valves, membranes, tubing, flanges, and bottles. Some plans include lactation consultant benefits and maternity compression garments as well. These benefits vary by plan, and we can check yours for you.
How do I find out if a specific breast pump is covered?
You can contact Aetna directly to go over your benefits, but you do not have to. Our customer service team navigates Aetna plans every day, so we can contact them for you. Start your order and we will confirm your coverage and show you every pump your plan includes, with exact pricing.
When can I order my pump?
Any time during pregnancy or after your baby arrives. Many moms order in the second or third trimester so the pump is ready before delivery.
