Call the number on the back of your benefits card or log into your benefits portal to confirm whether breast pumps are covered under your specific plan and what documentation is required.
Follow your provider's claim process using the documentation they require. Requirements vary — some plans accept a Walmart receipt, others may require additional documentation.

⚠️ Verify with your providerQuestions to ask your insurance provider
Before purchasing, we recommend calling your provider to confirm your coverage. Here are helpful questions to ask.
Is a breast pump covered under my extended health benefit plan?
Do I need a prescription or doctor's note for coverage to apply?
What type of breast pump is covered — single electric, double electric?
What is the maximum dollar amount reimbursable for medical equipment?
What documentation do I need to submit a claim?
Is there a time limit after birth for when I can submit my claim?
Can I use my Health Spending Account (HSA) to cover the cost?
Can I purchase from Walmart.ca and submit a receipt for reimbursement?
Even if your group benefits plan doesn't explicitly cover breast pumps, you may have a Health Spending Account through your employer that covers eligible medical expenses. It's worth asking before you pay out-of-pocket.
