Personal & Hospital Grade Pumps, Accessory Kits, & Vending Machines

Personal Pumps Through Insurance

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanded health plan coverage to include breastfeeding support and supplies. Coverage will vary based on your insurance provider.

Contact your insurance provider to explore the pump options available to you, as well as how to obtain your pump. Typically, a prescription for the personal pump is needed from your Doctor on or after baby’s date of birth, in addition to a copy of your insurance card, and basic demographic information.

  • Johns Hopkins Pharmaquip works with all Johns Hopkins insurance providers to distribute a free personal pump through your insurance plan. The Durable Medical Equipment Department can be reached directly at: 410-288-8955. All documents can be faxed to: 410-282-8455. Once the information is received and verified, the personal pump will ship directly to you in 1-3 business days.
  • Storkpump is a free resource that also works with all Johns Hopkins insurance providers and navigates the process of obtaining a pump for employees. More information can be found on their website.
Hospital Grade Pumps

We provide hospital-grade pumps in our lactation rooms for use by employees needing to express milk while at work. To use the pumps, you’ll need to provide your own accessory kit.

A hospital-grade pump is the strongest and most durable pump available for milk expression. It has a more powerful motor than a personal-use pump, so it provides a higher level of suction and more efficient pumping. This effectively stimulates and raises your levels of prolactin and oxytocin, the hormones that increase your milk production and output.

While a personal-use pump is intended for use by only one individual, a hospital-grade pump is designed and approved by the FDA to be safe for multiple users. A hospital-grade pump can be used by more than one person because it is designed with barriers that prevent cross contamination. When using a hospital-grade pump, each user MUST supply their own accessory kit.
