Dean Health Plan partners with SSM Health at Home to provide members with either an electric or manual breast pump. SSM Health at Home determines the brand and model of pumps to provide. SSM Health at Home may change the brand and/or model of breast pumps they provide at any time.
Dean Health Plan covers one breast pump (manual or electric) at 100% cost per delivery for all members.
Dean Health Plan Commercial members may receive an electric or manual breast pump up to four weeks before the estimated delivery date.
You can request an insurance covered breast pump by having your doctor submit an order through Epic medical record system to SSM Health at Home or by faxing the Health Plan’s breast pump order form to SSM Health at Home at 1-866-553-0824.
After SSM Health at Home confirms insurance information, they will contact you by phone within 24 to 48 hours to confirm how the member will receive the breast pump.
If you have additional questions, please call Dean Health Plan’s Customer care Center at 1-800-279-1301.
