We cover one hospital-grade electric pump rental in place of a manual or electric pump with an order from your provider.

- Select “Search by Name or Facility”
- Enter the supplier’s name in the search field
- Select “Search Providers”
In-network DME suppliers will submit a claim to Harvard Pilgrim on your behalf.
Lactation consultant coverage
As a Harvard Pilgrim member, we cover you 100% for lactation support from certified consultants.
If you don’t know where to start, ask your obstetrician, midwife or your child’s pediatrician for a recommendation. You can find certified consultants who:
- Work for hospitals or birthing centers and are available to you before and after you go home
- Work in the community and offer in-home classes, group classes or both
Find a lactation consultant near you:
If you work with a lactation consultant at the hospital or birthing center, they’ll bill us directly and you won’t need to pay out of pocket for their services. Otherwise, please ask your lactation consultant for an invoice and submit it with a completed health care reimbursement form.
Routine pediatric care
Routine pediatric health screenings and preventive immunizations are covered in full (no cost sharing). Find more information on preventive care.
For children from birth through age 5, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offer helpful information on the important developmental milestones your child should be reaching as they grow.
