Texas insurance coverage requires a prescription from a BCBS authorized provider. This can be an MD, a nurse practitioner, nurse, a midwife, or other licensed prescriber. We are happy to get your prescription faxed to us, you just need to fill out our BCBS breast pump prescription form.
BCBS Texas approved breast pumps come in a variety of styles to suit any mom’s needs. You can get any type of BCBS covered breast pump including:
- Basic Manual Breast Pumps
- Standard Electric Breast Pumps
- Double Electric Breast Pump
- Wearable Breast Pumps
- Wireless Breast Pumps
- Hospital-Grade Breast Pumps
For most BCBS moms, the answer is YES! Under the Affordable Care Act, non-grandfathered insurance plans are required to cover a breast pump. Breast pumps are often covered under the Women’s Preventative benefit and are sometimes covered under the durable medical equipment (DME) benefit.

You can get breast pump supplies including tubing, adapters, bottles and caps, breast shields, and other necessary pieces. You can also get baby weight scales, batteries, breast milk storage bags, and other similar products.
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.
Your Blue Cross Blue Shield pump benefits depend upon the state plan under which you are covered and/or the state in which you reside. Once we verify your insurance, we’ll let you know what breast pumps are fully covered (and which are not).
