Two minutes from start to finish. Here is a quick walkthrough of getting your pump through insurance.
Which pumps can you get through Cigna?
Most Cigna plans cover the two standard types: manual pumps and double electric pumps. Hospital-grade pumps are usually rented rather than bought, and when a plan covers one it typically needs a prescription. Wearable pumps are available with your benefit applied toward the cost.

Spectra
Medela
Elvie
Zomee
Momcozy
Willow
Ameda
Ardo
Motif

Cigna questions, answered
Does Cigna cover a breast pump for me?
Most Cigna 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.
What types and brands of breast pumps does Cigna cover?
Most Cigna plans cover the two standard types: manual pumps and double electric pumps. Hospital-grade pumps are usually rented rather than bought, and when a plan covers one it typically needs a prescription. Wearable pumps are available with your benefit applied toward the cost. You can choose from brands like Medela, Spectra, Elvie, Zomee, Eufy, and Momcozy.
Can I upgrade my breast pump model with Cigna?
A selection of quality double electric and wearable pumps is fully covered, and top-of-the-line models are available with your benefit applied toward the price. You will always see the exact price before you order, with no surprises.
How do I find out if a specific breast pump is covered?
You can contact Cigna 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 is the best breast pump to get through Cigna insurance?
It depends on how long you plan to breastfeed, how much help you will have with feeding, and whether you are returning to work. A friend’s favorite may not suit you, since everyone’s needs for expressing milk differ. Our team can walk you through the differences, for example between a Zomee and an Elvie, and help you choose.
Do Cigna covered breast pumps include a warranty?
Many insurers cover a replacement if your covered pump breaks, and many pump makers offer a limited one-year warranty. Read your Cigna coverage to understand your terms for replacement, or ask us and we will help you check.
How do I order a breast pump through Cigna?
Fill out our order form and our team does the rest. We verify your insurance, contact Cigna for you, request the prescription from your doctor, and ship your pump to your door.
When can I get a breast pump through Cigna?
You can start your order any time after your pregnancy is confirmed, so everything is ready early. Your plan decides when a pump can ship, and we will tell you when yours can.
Does Cigna cover replacement parts and supplies?
Cigna may cover other equipment beyond the pump itself, from breast milk storage bags to breast shields to replacement parts, depending on your plan. Ask us and we will work with you and Cigna to see what your plan includes.
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.
