Any TriCare moms/soon to be gotten your breast pump through them?

Question

I plan on going this route to save $$ but was just wondering anyones experience getting yours through them? I read you have to have a prescription which is no problem but how easy/difficult is it to purchase yours?

Answer

For my previous two pregnancies, I got a prescription around 32-36 weeks from the doctor (super simple, easy process!) And went to the breastfeeding shop.com (should show up when you google it). They were very helpful and sent me the pump I wanted and a ton ox extra supplies. After submitting online, I scanned in a copy of the prescription and received my pump within a week.

Answer

My doctor hands out prescriptions in a packet for moms once we turn 28 weeks. It’s like a generic prescription. The process was super easy tho.

Answer

I went to the website 1 Natural Way. 
They are extremely helpful and I was really satisfied with everything. I got mine about 37 weeks pregnant when I ordered it about 35 weeks. 
You tell them who your doctor is and what clinic you visit. They will ask for the OB name or midwife and will contact the office for a prescription. Once they get the prescription they send it immediately. They will also send you emails about where they are at in the process. So they will email you when they send out the prescription, when they got the prescription, when it’s been shipped/delivered. 
I would 12/10 recommend.

Answer

Mine was super easy. I got my prescription from my doctor at my first appointment lol. I ordered it when I was 36 weeks and it came in 2 days.

Answer

I got my prescription no problem and called them and they said I have to actually have my baby and then I can apply for my pump. I should have just done it that way as I now know I didn’t need my pump right away. It’s best to wait until baby’s latch/nursing habits and mom’s supply are well established before you pump anyways. But with my first baby I didn’t know any better and thought I would need it from day one. So I took the option to purchase it myself and submit a claim for reimbursement after baby was born. That was a mess. It took me at least a dozen phone calls, hours on hold, and several people telling me my money should be on it’s way, until I finally got a helpful person who tracked down exactly what the problem was and finally issued my reimbursement after months of me harassing them.
