Medela Breast Pumps Through Insurance

On most plans, yes. Some plans cover the Medela Pump In Style Pro in full, the Medela Freestyle Hands-free comes with an upgrade fee on the plans that cover it, and not every plan offers every model. Start your order and pick your state and plan to see each pump you qualify for, with any fee, before you pay anything.

The Zomee Z2, Zomee Fit, Zomee W1, Lansinoh DiscreetDuo Flow and Ameda Mya Joy Basic are covered in full on the plans we work with. If your plan adds a fee for a Medela, the Zomee Z2 is a tabletop double pump like the Pump In Style Pro, and the Zomee Fit and Zomee W1 are wearables like the Freestyle Hands-free.

The one that fits where you’ll pump. For home or a desk near an outlet, the Medela Pump In Style Pro is the simple pick, and a familiar one if you used Symphony in the hospital. If you pump on the go, the Medela Freestyle Hands-free is rechargeable with a pocket-size motor. Your plan’s price for each can differ, so it helps to check before you choose.

The Pump In Style Pro is a tabletop pump that plugs into the wall and pumps into two 5 oz bottles, with 16 levels in each mode and up to 295 mmHg peak, Medela says. The Freestyle Hands-free is a rechargeable wearable with a pocket-size motor, see-through 5 oz cups, 9 levels in 2 modes, 245 mmHg and app support, per our comparison chart.

It’s the model that replaced it. Medela calls the Pro the next generation of Pump In Style and no longer lists the MaxFlow on its US site. If your doctor or your plan still says “Pump In Style”, the Pro is the pump we ship.

Medela’s comparison chart rates the Pump In Style Pro at up to 295 mmHg peak, and says typical use tops out at 240 mmHg. Our chart lists the Freestyle Hands-free at 245 mmHg. For comparison, Spectra rates the S1 and S2 at 270 mmHg.

The Freestyle Hands-free does: it’s rechargeable, and our chart lists about 2 hours per charge. The Pump In Style Pro has no battery and runs plugged in, with the A/C adapter in the box.

Medela describes it as “true hospital-grade performance, at home” with a pumping pattern similar to its Symphony hospital pump, but also calls it a single-user pump for home. We don’t use the label ourselves.

Medela gives the Pump In Style Pro a 1-year warranty, and our chart lists 1 year for the Freestyle Hands-free too. Both are closed systems: on the Pro, a milk barrier at the breast shield keeps milk out of the tubing, Medela says.

Yes, insurance requires one, but you don’t need it in hand to order. Give us your doctor’s details and we request the prescription for you. Most plans let your pump ship about 30 days before your due date.
