Expecting or new moms with Cigna health insurance often ask: what breast pump and supply coverage do I have? Getting a high-quality breast pump and supplies through insurance can save you a lot of money, so let’s explore Cigna’s insurance coverage guidelines and see how you can make the most out of these benefits.
Understanding Cigna’s Coverage for Breast Pumps
The Affordable Care Act requires most health insurance plans to cover the cost of a breast pump as part of the women’s preventive health services. That means with Cigna, you can obtain a fully-covered double electric breast pump through a durable medical equipment company (DME), like Acelleron, at no cost to you. Plus, a prescription is not required with Cigna, making the ordering process even easier!
New Addition: Milk Storage Bags Covered by Cigna
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act’s recent expansion for women’s health, Cigna plans now include milk storage bags in their covered benefits. When you choose Acelleron as your breast pump provider, you’re gaining access to even more benefits. We will supply you with breast milk storage bags alongside your breast pump. Moreover, our team will be in touch after your baby’s birth to enroll you in our Breastmilk Storage Bag Resupply Program. This means you can focus on caring for your baby, and we’ll ensure you have a steady supply of milk storage bags when you need them, for free.
