There are many benefits to breastfeeding, for mom and baby. The natural transition of the newborn from the womb to breastfeeding will help to create a unique bond between mother and baby.

The breast milk is very rich in nutrients and antibodies to protect your baby. For most babies - especially premature babies - breast milk is easier to digest than formula. Breastfeeding your baby from birth will aid in proper growth and development. Breastfed infants are less susceptible to illnesses and generally recover from sickness sooner than formula fed babies. The nutritional properties of breast milk also help to enhance cognitive development.

Breastfeeding is also linked to a lower risk of these health problems in women: Type 2 diabetes, Breast cancer, Ovarian cancer and Postpartum depression.

Better Living Now handles contacting both your insurance provider and your physician on your behalf. This usually means your breast pump is shipped to you with minimal or no out-of-pocket expense and arrives at your door timely. We are an In-Network Provider to most US health plans.
See our accepted insurance plans here.

Attention, BlueCross BlueShield Customers: your coverage guidelines will be based on your Host plan's Breast Pump reimbursement guidelines.

This coverage guideline varies by insurance plan. It could be:
1) anytime during your pregnancy,
2) some period of time prior to giving birth, such as 30 to 90 days prior or
3) not until the birth of your child.
The latter is because the appropriate breast pump system could change based on the child and mother's necessity.

Items marked as BLN Preferred are generally covered in full with no premium product out-of-pocket expense.

Manual Breast Pumps
The Purchase of a manual breast pump will be considered medically necessary during pregnancy or within the first 12 months (365 days) following delivery for continuation of breastfeeding. A replacement manual breast pump is considered medically necessary for subsequent pregnancies, for continuation of breastfeeding during pregnancy or within the first 12 months following delivery, if an initial breast pump is broken and out of warranty.

Hospital Grade Breast Pumps
Hospital grade breast pump rentals are considered medically necessary for the period of time when a newborn is detained in the hospital after the mother is discharged, and/or when a newborn has congenital disorders that interfere with feeding (up to 12 months). The purchase of a hospital grade breast pump is never considered medically necessary as they will never require long-term usage.

Electric Breast Pumps
The purchase of an electric breast pump will be considered medically necessary during pregnancy or in the postpartum period (within the first 2 months (60 days) following delivery) for initiation of breastfeeding.
A replacement standard electric breast pump is considered medically necessary for subsequent pregnancies, for initiation of breastfeeding during pregnancy or in the postpartum period (within the first 60 days following delivery), for members who have not received a standard electric breast pump within the previous 3 years or if the initial electric breast pump is broken and out of warranty.

That would be very helpful and expedite your order; however, if needed Better Living Now's New Beginnings Group Customer Care Coordinator will reach out to your doctor during the order verification process on your behalf to obtain the necessary documentation.

This will vary based on your plan, your doctor and what we need to do to ensure you receive the greatest value for your coverage. Once we have everything we need, your order ships same day with delivery within 1 to 8 days.
