United Healthcare Coverage Guidelines
Your United Healthcare health insurance may cover more than just a breast pump. From replacement parts to professional breastfeeding support, many moms are surprised to learn just how much is included. Below are some of the most common breastfeeding-related benefits available through United Healthcare. Keep in mind that coverage can vary depending on your individual plan.
Breast Pumps
Most United Healthcare plans cover one manual or double electric breast pump for each pregnancy. Choose from trusted brands like Momcozy, Eufy, Spectra, Elvie and more. Many models are fully covered, and wearable or premium models are available for a small out-of-pocket cost.
Coverage Frequency: 1 per pregnancy
Note: Upgrades (like wearable pumps) may require partial payment.
Replacement Parts
United Healthcare may also help cover the cost of breast pump replacement parts like valves, tubing, membranes, and flanges. These parts need to be replaced regularly to ensure proper function and cleanliness. Depending on your plan, some items may be fully covered, while others may require a small out-of-pocket fee.
Coverage Frequency: Varies by plan; typically 1 shipment every 90 days after baby is born
Note: Some plans may partially cover or offer discounted kits.
Breast Milk Storage Bags
Many United Healthcare plans include breast milk storage bags to support safe and hygienic milk storage. These are perfect for moms returning to work or those building up a freezer stash.
Coverage Frequency: Up to 300 bags every 90 days after baby is born
Note: Quantity limits may apply based on plan guidelines.
Lactation Consultations
Breastfeeding isn't always easy, but you don't have to do it alone. United Healthcare typically provides coverage for a visit with a certified lactation consultant, either in person or via telehealth. This benefit helps moms navigate latching issues, milk supply concerns, and more.
Coverage Frequency: Varies by plan

What Customers Say
Christine Vargas
So easy to work with. After I submitted my info, 1 Natural Way did the rest. I didn’t have to worry about contacting my insurance or doctor’s office, they handled it and sent me emails with updates at each step. Highly recommend when you have so many things to think about and don’t know where to start with ordering your pump!
Carolyn Fess
Finally got around to ordering a new breast pump before returning to work with less than a week before my first day back. Ordered it on Sunday and had it delivered by Thursday! They took care of insurance and even got the prescription from my doctor's office in that time. I'm still so impressed!
Danielle Hanley
Super grateful for 1 Natural Way in helping me to navigate the insurance process for obtaining a new breast pump! So much easier experience than what I had to do years ago with my first baby. Highly recommend!
Frequently Asked Questions: United Healthcare Breast Pump Coverage and 1 Natural Way
Do I qualify for a free breast pump through United Healthcare?
Different insurance plans will have different guidelines and coverage - even plans from the same company. That's why 1 Natural Way always verifies your eligibility for a breast pump.
That said, we find that most moms qualify to receive a breast pump through their United Healthcare plan. To have us check your eligibility, just fill out our qualification form and we will get back to you in about 1 to 2 business days.
A little background on the subject: The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that insurance plans cover the cost of a breast pump (personal or rental). Breast pumps are typically covered as a women's preventative benefit. We do, however, find that some “grandfathered plans” do not have to meet ACA requirements and there are certain state-provided insurance plans that do not offer a pump.

What are the breast pumps United Healthcare covers? Can I get any pump I want?
Once we verify your insurance, we'll let you know what breast pumps are fully covered (and which are not). Most UHC moms that we work with have a couple of no cost pumps to choose from, including the mom-approved Medela Pump In Style Pro.
If you prefer a more expensive pump than one that is fully covered by your plan, you can apply the cost of a covered breast pump toward the cost of a pump of your choice.
1 Natural Way offers the following breast pump brands to choose from and we have both standard and deluxe pumps: Spectra, Medela, Elvie, Ameda, Willow, Freemie, Lansinoh and Motif.
Do I need a prescription to receive my United Healthcare free breast pump?
United Healthcare is one of the few insurance companies that, for most plans, does not require a prescription from your doctor or midwife to receive your breast pump. 1 Natural Way will, however, request the name and contact information for your physician or midwife in the event that we would need to contact them when filing your breast pump claim with UHC.
* If you have a United Healthcare Student Resources plan or are covered by United Healthcare Community Plan of Ohio, a prescription is required.
