BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - Nov. 12, 2015 - PRLog -- As a new mother who has made the decision to breast feed, there are many considerations. Whether you have decided to go back to work or have other responsibilities that may keep you away from your baby at feeding time, the expense of purchasing or renting a quality breast pump is the last thing you should worry about.

Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, the majority of health care plans are now required to cover the cost of breast pumps and breast feeding supplies.

How do I qualify for a breast pump at little or NO COST?

There are three main considerations to keep in mind:

1. For policies in place since the signing of the Affordable Care Act on March 23, 2010, breast pumps and lactation consultants are covered without co-pays or deductibles.

2. Grandfathered plans are those health insurance plans already in place when the Affordable Care Act was signed and are not required to comply but you may have some level of coverage. Health plans must disclose if they are grandfathered in all plan benefits materials, so contact your plan administrator if you are unsure.

3. In most cases, if you are using your insurance to purchase a breast pump you will require a prescription from your doctor.

There are many reasons why a breast pump is important to both mother and baby — and these are not limited to working moms. A new mom may need help in regulating the supply of milk, to increase the quantity, or there might be a need for mom to take a break from breastfeeding. Whatever the reason, the important thing is that most expecting and new mothers are now insurance covered for breast pumps.
