I have tricare prime do any of you ladies know if they cover a breast pump ? Or if breast pumps are covered by insurance?

[ashleybm07]

Also tricare prime and standard are to different things all active service members get prime you have to elect for your dependents to get and pay extra. If you don't ask for prime for them they are automatically enrolled in standard.

Tricare isn't governed necessarily like other insurance as its for military. I To Have TRICARE But Am A Service member. If you have a child in the nicu they will give you one but only under those circumstances. They do offer discounts though.

I have tricare and no they don't. Only if you have a baby in nicu. I called.

Call them directly to be sure, state mandates, as far as I'm aware don't apply to military coverage.  I have CHAMPVA and coverage is nearly identical to Tricare.  CHAMPVA will cover a hospital grade pump if medically necessary for the child and I'd have a copay.

Okay thank you! I live in California I was browsing online for breast pumps but they are expensive!

[MariaBeth]

I think it depends on which state you live in. In WA all insurance are obligated to cover it. I'd do some research online
