How to Get a Wearable Breast Pump Through Insurance

Great news! Motif Medical's wearable breast pump, the Motif Aura Glow, is fully covered by many insurance plans. Yes, you read that correctly, you can get a high-quality, effective wearable breast pump covered by insurance! Additionally, the hybrid-style Motif Roam is also typically 100% covered! These two convenient, hands-free breast pumps are perfect for moms on the go.

In the past, wearable and portable breast pumps weren’t usually covered by insurance, or if they were, they came with a significant "upgrade" fee. But now, Motif is changing that with the Motif Aura Glow and Roam. After listening to customer feedback on features, flange sizes, and portability, the Motif team designed these two pumps to meet all your needs while still being eligible for insurance coverage. 

If you need both, check the out-of-pocket cost for each and use your insurance benefits for the more expensive unit. Keep in mind that wearable breast pumps are often eligible for HSA/FSA funds if your specific plan doesn't cover the full cost, and you can always add your second pump to your baby shower registry!

Consider these tips when determining the best wearable breast pump for your lifestyle:

• Exclusive Pumping - If you plan to exclusively pump, prioritize a primary option like the Motif Luna, but also consider the Aura Glow or Roam since you'll likely have up to eight pumping sessions per day.
  • Here is a sample schedule for incorporating a wearable/portable when exclusively pumping. 
• Pumping at Work - IIf you’ll be pumping 3–4 times per day at work, a primary pump is recommended to support milk production, but both the Aura Glow and Roam can fit seamlessly into a busy work schedule.
  • Here is a sample schedule for using both a primary and a wearable/portable option.
• Occasional Pumping - If you plan to nurse most of the time, you could likely use insurance-covered wearable breast pumps as your sole device. However, many people get better milk output with a primary pump. Thankfully, the Motif Roam is a hybrid that delivers excellent pumping effectiveness alongside the convenience of a portable pump with discreet collection cups. 

• The Motif Aura Glow is a premium wearable breast pump that also offers up to 280 mmHg of suction strength in a compact, lightweight design. The Aura Glow is named for its LED nightlights that shine down into the milk collection containers so you can see your pumped milk even in the middle of the night. Aura Glow also features two pre-programmed pumping modes that go beyond the standard massage mode and expression mode. Glow comes with 15mm/17mm/19mm/21mm silicone flange inserts right in the box. 

• The Motif Roam combines effectiveness and convenience with its strong motor and discreet collection cups. Just like the Aura Glow, it also provides up to 280 mmHg of suction strength. It’s simple to use and also features the same pre-programmed sessions as the Aura Glow. Roam comes with 16mm/18mm/21mm/24mm silicone flange inserts right in the box. 

All Motif Breast Pumps are closed systems and feature a 2-year warranty.
