Pregnant women or new moms with Cigna health insurance often ask, “What is the coverage for breast pumps and breast milk supplementation?” Getting a quality breast pump and supplies with insurance can save you a lot of money. So, let’s take a look at Cigna’s insurance coverage guidelines to see how you can make the most of these benefits.
Understand Cigna Breast Pump Coverage
The Affordable Care Act requires most health insurance plans to cover the cost of breast pumps as part of women’s preventive health services. This means that with Cigna, you can get a fully covered double electric breast pump from a durable medical equipment company (DME) like Aceleron for free. Additionally, Cigna doesn’t require a prescription, making the ordering process even easier.
New addition: Cigna-covered milk storage bags
Thanks to the recent Affordable Care Act expansion for women’s health, Cigna plans now include milk storage bags as a covered benefit. When you choose Acelleron as your breast pump provider, you get even more benefits. You will also receive a breast milk storage bag along with your breast pump. Additionally, after your baby’s birth, our team will contact you to enroll you in our Breast Milk Storage Bag Resupply Program. This means you can focus on caring for your baby and have a steady supply of free milk storage bags when you need them.
