PUMPCARE

You only need a prescription only if you are using your insurance benefits to purchase a breast pump.

We accept nearly all insurances. To find out if we accept your insurance, call us at (800) 409-3962 or email us at info@pediacaremed.com. Or, simply place an order and we’ll call you if we detect any issue with coverage.

Breast pump travel bags are usually not covered by insurance providers. You may upgrade to one of our bundles for a fee.

Yes, as long as you have not already sought reimbursement from your insurance provider and your insurance covers breast pumps.

To help you decide on a breast pump, think about which features are most important to you. For example, if you will be transporting your breast pump frequently, you may want to give special consideration to its size and weight. Our Pump Comparison Chart allows you to easily compare the features of the pumps we offer.

If you’re still unsure or have additional questions, call us at (800) 409-3962 or email us at info@pediacaremed.com. Our Customer Service Team will be happy to assist you.

A closed-system breast pump contains a barrier between the milk collection kit and the pump’s motor. This barrier decreases the likelihood that expressed milk will become contaminated with mold, bacteria, and environmental allergens.

A breast pump with an open system does not have a barrier and requires extra care to reduce the chances of contamination.

Although a closed system is more hygienic, we still advise you to clean and sanitize your breast pump according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Please Note: All of our breast pumps—including those with closed systems—are meant to be used by only one person and should never be shared because of safety concerns. Refer to the section Used Breast Pumps on this page for more information.

Most likely, you will be able to receive your breast pump in your third trimester.

Some insurance plans require we wait to ship your pump until closer to your due date or after the birth of your baby. When we contact you to confirm your order, we will let you know when you can expect your pump.

If you aren’t using your insurance benefits, you can purchase a breast pump at any time.

Once we confirm your order, we’ll ship your breast pump right away unless your insurance plan specifies otherwise (see How early in my pregnancy can I receive a pump?). PediaCare Med offers free shipping on all pumps! Delivery times will vary based on your location. Expedited shipping is available for a fee; please contact us for details.

Please refer to your breast pump’s instruction manual for troubleshooting guidelines. If you continue to experience a problem, call us at (800) 409-3962.

Opened breast pumps are non-returnable outside of the manufacturer’s warranty. If you are experiencing a problem with your breast pump, please call us at (800) 409-3962.

You can purchase extra supplies directly from your breast pump’s manufacturer. We are working on expanding our product line, so please come back in a few months to see our new offerings!
