Tricare Breast Pumps Coverage Ashburn
TRICARE will cover breast pumps and breast pump supplies with no out of pocket cost or co-pay for new mothers. This includes mothers who adopt a baby and plan to breastfeed.
In order to qualify for Tricare Breast Pump coverage, you need to have a prescription from an authorized Tricare doctor, physician, nurse practitioner or nurse midwife. Your prescription must say which type of breast pump you need. Most moms get a prescription for a standard double electric breast pump; however, it could be for any of the following:
- Hospital-grade breast pump
- Manual breast pump
- Standard double electric breast pump
The Tricare Breast Pump coverage is retroactive to December 19, 2014. What this means is you can submit a claim with Tricare for a reimbursement for a breast pump you paid for already. To file for a reimbursement claim for a pump you already purchased click here.
In order to get reimbursed you must have the following:
- A prescription
- A receipt
