Medela Breast Pumps Through Insurance
About Medela
For more than 60 years, Medela has been one of the most recognized names in breastfeeding and pumping. Founded in 1961 with Swiss roots, Medela is a global medical device company that develops research-based breast milk feeding products used in hospitals, NICUs, and homes around the world. Their ongoing collaboration with the University of Western Australia - a research partnership that began in 1996 - helped shape innovations like 2-Phase Expression technology, which is built into every Medela breast pump.
Today's Medela lineup gives you more choices than ever. Whether you prefer a traditional bottle-based setup or a fully wearable in-bra pump, Medela has a double electric option designed around your routine. At 1 Natural Way, we carry three current Medela pumps and make it easy to get yours covered through insurance.

What Moms Are Saying About Medela
Very difficult to put together, even when following directions. It’s very finicky and at one point caused me to get hardly any output for a 20 minute pump session. The parts are a very flimsy plastic material also, and even after few uses are showing damage. I give two stars because when it did work, I was able to get decent output. However the sizing was a bit uncomfortable even when following the guidelines in the manual.
Works great!
I love how complete this breast pump comes, and I love the experience with natural way, its delivery was super fast, in addition to my breast pump I received some compression stockings, a girdle and a blood pressure monitor, I love how complete their packages are, 100% recommended
Finally, a pump that gets up all of my milk and I’m not left full
Muy bonito
Great pump it empties me out very well
Suction works really good
Which Medela Pump Is Right for You?
Medela's current lineup covers two distinct pumping styles - traditional bottle-based and fully wearable in-bra - so the right choice really comes down to how, where, and how often you plan to pump. Here's a closer look at each model we carry.
Medela Pump In Style Pro
Best for: Moms who want a straightforward, traditional Medela pump with a strong hospital-to-home story and simple controls.
The Pump In Style Pro is Medela's classic double electric breast pump, and it's built around a clinically proven pumping pattern similar to the Medela Symphony - the pump used in hospitals worldwide. If you used a Symphony during your hospital stay, the Pump In Style Pro is designed to give you a familiar pumping experience at home.
With 16 adjustable levels across both Stimulation and Expression modes, you have full control over your comfort and output. The pump includes 21 mm and 24 mm PersonalFit Plus breast shields, bottles, connectors with membranes, and a power adaptor. It's a closed-system pump with backflow protection, so your milk never touches the tubing or motor. At just over one pound, it's lightweight and easy to set up wherever you pump most.
Want even more flexibility? Medela's Hands-Free Collection Cups can be purchased separately and are compatible with the Pump In Style, so you can add hands-free capability later without switching pumps.
Insurance: The Pump In Style Pro is fully covered by most insurance plans through 1 Natural Way.
Key specs: Type: Traditional double electric | Power: AC adaptor | Levels: 16 (Stimulation + Expression) | Shields included: 21 mm and 24 mm PersonalFit Plus | Weight: 1.23 lb | System: Closed with backflow protection
Medela Pump In Style Pro Plus
Best for: Moms who love the traditional Pump In Style experience but want the freedom to pump away from a wall outlet.
The Pump In Style Pro+ delivers the same proven performance as the Pump In Style Pro - the main difference is a built-in rechargeable battery that gives you more mobility. If you want Medela's hospital-to-home pumping pattern without being tied to an AC adaptor, the Pro+ is the upgrade that makes it possible.
Like the Pro, it comes with 21 mm and 24 mm PersonalFit Plus shields, bottles, connectors, and tubing. It's a closed-system pump with just four parts to clean, keeping your daily routine simple. The rechargeable battery means you can pump in the nursery, at the kitchen table, or wherever your day takes you.
Insurance: Coverage varies by plan. Check your insurance to see if the Pro+ is fully covered or available as an upgrade option.
Key specs: Type: Traditional double electric (rechargeable) | Power: Built-in rechargeable battery | Shields included: 21 mm and 24 mm PersonalFit Plus | Parts to clean: 4 | System: Closed with backflow protection
Medela Magic InBra
Best for: Moms who want Medela's most discreet, fully wearable pump with premium sensor-driven technology and app control.
The Magic InBra is Medela's most advanced wearable option. It's a fully self-contained in-bra pump - no external motor, no tubing, no bottles hanging from your chest. Each pump weighs just 7 oz and operates at a whisper-quiet 38 dB, so you can pump during a meeting, while nursing an older child, or any time discretion matters.
What makes the Magic InBra unique in the Medela family is FluidFeel Technology, which is inspired by a baby's natural feeding behavior. Built-in sensors respond to your milk flow to maintain stable suction and automatically switch from Stimulation to Expression mode, so the pump adapts to you rather than the other way around. The pumping pattern is similar to the Medela Symphony Maintain mode, giving you that same hospital-to-home continuity in a wearable form factor.
With 5 Stimulation levels and 10 Expression levels, remote control through the Medela Family app, and a battery that lasts up to 2 hours, the Magic InBra is designed for moms who want performance and wearability without compromise. Each container holds up to 5 oz, and the pump includes 21 mm and 24 mm shields. It is a closed-system, single-user pump.
Insurance: Coverage varies by plan. The Magic InBra may be available as an upgrade option through your insurance. Check your coverage to find out.
Key specs: Type: Fully wearable in-bra | Power: USB-rechargeable (up to 2 hrs) | Levels: 5 Stimulation + 10 Expression | Capacity: 5 oz per side | Noise: 38 dB | Shields included: 21 mm and 24 mm | App: Medela Family (remote control + tracking) | System: Closed, single-user
Features Moms Love About Medela Breast Pumps
Research-Backed Pumping Technology
Every Medela breast pump includes 2-Phase Expression technology, developed through decades of lactation research and Medela's collaboration with the University of Western Australia. This means your pump is designed to follow the natural rhythm of how a baby feeds - faster at first to encourage let-down, then slower and deeper for comfortable, efficient expression.
Hospital-to-Home Continuity
If you used a Medela Symphony during your hospital stay, several Medela personal pumps are designed around a similar clinically proven pumping pattern. That continuity can make the transition to pumping at home feel more natural and less stressful.
A Pumping Format for Every Lifestyle
Unlike brands that only offer one type of pump, Medela's current lineup at 1 Natural Way spans traditional bottle-based and fully wearable in-bra pumping. You can choose the style that matches how you want to pump - and in some cases, switch between formats with compatible accessories.
Closed-System Protection Across the Board
All three Medela pumps available at 1 Natural Way are closed-system pumps with backflow protection, which means your breast milk never comes into contact with the tubing or motor. That's important for hygiene and peace of mind.
Simple Cleaning and Maintenance
With just 4 parts to clean on the Pump In Style Pro and Pro+ and an easy-clean wearable design on the Magic InBra, Medela keeps daily maintenance straightforward so you can spend less time at the sink.
Strong Parts and Accessories Ecosystem
Medela offers breast shields in multiple sizes, replacement membranes and connectors, collection bottles, storage bags, and hands-free collection cups. And through our MilkZoom program, many moms can get Medela replacement parts and breast milk storage bags covered by insurance on a monthly basis.

Get StartedMedela Parts, Accessories, and Replacement Supplies
One of Medela's biggest strengths is a wide ecosystem of parts and accessories - breast shields in multiple sizes, replacement membranes and connectors, collection bottles, tubing, and storage bags. Having the right parts makes a real difference in comfort, output, and pump longevity.
- Membranes regularly to maintain suction
- Breast shields as needed for fit and wear
- Storage bags as you use them
A few important compatibility notes to keep in mind: Medela parts are not universally interchangeable across every model. Hands-Free Collection Cups are only compatible with certain Medela double electric pumps, including the Pump In Style - they are not compatible with pumps from other brands. The Magic InBra uses its own wearable shield and container setup, which is separate from the standard Medela cup and bottle accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medela Breast Pumps
Which Medela breast pump is fully covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan, but the Medela Pump In Style Pro is fully covered by most insurance plans through 1 Natural Way. Other models - including the Pump In Style Pro Plus, and Magic InBra - may also be covered or available as upgrade options depending on your specific plan. The fastest way to find out is to check your insurance coverage through our quick qualification form.
What is the difference between Medela Pump In Style Pro and Pump In Style Pro+?
Both pumps offer the same proven pumping performance. The main difference is that the Pro+ has a built-in rechargeable battery, so you can pump without being plugged into a wall outlet. The standard Pump In Style Pro runs on AC power only. If mobility matters to you, the Pro+ is the more flexible option. If you primarily pump at home in one location, the Pro may be all you need.
What is the difference between hands-free pumping and a fully wearable Medela pump?
Hands-free pumping with Medela uses lightweight collection cups (like Medela's Hands-Free Collection Cups) that tuck into your bra, connected to a compatible double electric pump such as the Pump In Style with a short tube and a small motor unit. The Magic InBra is fully wearable and self-contained - each pump sits entirely inside your bra with no external motor or tubing. Both keep your hands free, but the Magic InBra is more discreet and doesn't require a separate motor unit.
Are Medela parts interchangeable across all pump models?
Not all of them. Some Medela parts and accessories are model-specific. For example, Medela's Hands-Free Collection Cups are only compatible with certain Medela double electric pumps (including the Pump In Style) and are not compatible with other brands. The Magic InBra uses its own wearable shield and container system. PersonalFit Flex breast shields and Medela collection and storage bottles are generally compatible across multiple Medela models, but always check compatibility for your specific pump before purchasing parts.
Are the Medela pumps at 1 Natural Way closed-system pumps?
Yes. All three Medela pumps currently available at 1 Natural Way - Pump In Style Pro, Pump In Style Pro Plus, and Magic InBra - are closed-system pumps with backflow protection. This means your breast milk is kept separate from the tubing and motor for hygienic pumping.
Can I store milk in Medela Hands-Free Collection Cups?
No. Medela's Hands-Free Collection Cups are designed for pumping only and are not intended for milk storage. After your pumping session, transfer your milk into a storage-safe container such as a Medela bottle or breast milk storage bag.
Is the Medela Magic InBra a multi-user pump?
No. The Magic InBra is a single-user product. Medela does not recommend borrowing or purchasing a second-hand Magic InBra pump. Like all single-user breast pumps, it is designed to be used by one person for hygienic and safety reasons.
What is Medela's 2-Phase Expression technology?
2-Phase Expression is Medela's signature pumping technology, found in every Medela breast pump. It's designed to follow the two natural phases of how a baby feeds: a faster rhythm at the beginning to stimulate let-down, followed by a slower, deeper rhythm for comfortable and efficient milk expression. This approach was developed through Medela's research collaboration with the University of Western Australia.
How do I get Medela replacement parts through insurance?
Through 1 Natural Way's MilkZoom program, many moms can receive Medela replacement parts and breast milk storage bags covered by insurance on a monthly basis. This includes shields, membranes, connectors, and storage bags. Check with our team to see what your plan covers.
