MCHENRY, Ill. – Medela has partnered with Covered Commerce to launch Medela Insurance Connect, a digital platform designed to make it easier for mothers in the United States to access insurance-covered breast pumps. Powered by Covered Commerce’s technology platform, Medela Insurance Connect helps users verify insurance eligibility, submit information and connect with partners to process their order and coordinate delivery of an insurance-covered Medela pump. “So many moms in the U.S. don’t even realize that you can access a pump for free, or very little out of pocket cost, by using their private insurance,” said Kelley Evans, executive vice president and head of commercial, Americas, Medela. “But navigating the insurance system can be complicated and overwhelming, especially with the growing list of to-dos prior to baby’s arrival.” Medela says the web-based platform is designed to help users start the insurance qualification process online in minutes, navigate eligibility with greater clarity, access its breast pumps through covered benefits and save time during pregnancy and postpartum. “Our mission is to make navigating health benefits simple for families,” said David Wagner, CEO at Covered Commerce. “Partnering with Medela is a natural fit to help families better understand and access their pregnancy benefits.”
