How To Get Your Free Breast Pump:

Under the Affordable Care Act, insurance providers must provide lactation support and supplies. 

  • Start by visiting the Byram Baby website. Click "get started" to create a new customer account. Select the appropriate insurance company to proceed with the authorization process. 
  • Your OB will authorize an order for a breast pump (similar to a prescription), and you must follow up with insurance so that you can select your pump
  • This process can take 2-3 weeks, so begin this process early!
  • Pump Considerations: 
    • A double-electric pump that plugs in to the wall is most likely to protect your milk supply, and choosing a well-known brand can make getting custom flange sizes and replacement parts easier.
    • Our UC Davis Lactation Consultant can support you in your decision-making
  • If you are experiencing difficulty with this process, please reach out to your insurance or your physician.
