Insurance and breast pumps

Very dissapointed! I have VERY good insurance. Everything ive heard and read online about the affordable care act covering the cost of breast pumps was misleading. I was under the impression that I could get the breast pump of my choice and the insirance would cover the cost or part of it. But no, the onl elligible breast pump is a single manual pump. When I go back to work and have to pump at work that will not work. They dont even offer a benefit ammount if I want a different kind!! Very frustrating!!!

If I dont get one for my baby shower I definitely will look into that although I might just buy it since I plan to breastfeed for at least a year.

Contact the hospital. A lot of times there are programs that you can rent a good electric pump. All the parts that you actually at all can are replaced between renters. So it's like getting a new one.
