Two minutes from start to finish. Here is a quick walkthrough of getting your pump through insurance.
Which pumps can you get through UPMC?
Most UPMC 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.
UPMC does not limit you to a single manufacturer, so you have real freedom to pick the pump that fits your life. We carry all the major brands:
Spectra
Medela
Elvie
Zomee
Momcozy
Willow
Ameda
Ardo
Motif
Lansinoh
Evenflo
Eufy
BabyBuddha

How do I find out if a specific breast pump is covered?
You can contact UPMC 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.
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.
