Breast Pumps (CPB 0421, reviewed 2026-06-30)
Aetna·Effective Jun 30, 2026
Aetna's breast pump policy (CPB 0421) clarifies coverage for breast pump equipment and supplies, distinguishing between rental (medically necessary for hospitalized newborns and babies with congenital feeding disorders up to 12 months) and purchase (covered only for DHHS-compliant plans). The policy specifies annual limits on replacement supplies (e.g., 4 boxes of 100 storage bags monthly, 8 units each of bottles, caps, tubing, adapters, shields, and rings yearly) and excludes wearable/battery-operated pumps from purchase coverage.
