The web-based experience offers a streamlined path to verify insurance eligibility, submit information, and connect with trusted partners to process their order and coordinate the 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. But navigating the insurance system can be complicated and overwhelming, especially with the growing list of to-do’s prior to baby’s arrival,” said Kelley Evans, EVP and Head of Commercial, Americas, Medela. “At Medela, we’re always seeking ways to better support moms throughout her feeding journey, and the Insurance Connect platform helps remove barriers and complexity from this process.” “Our mission is to make navigating health benefits simple for families,” said David Wagner, Chief Executive Officer at Covered Commerce. “Partnering with Medela is a natural fit to help families better understand and access their pregnancy benefits.” “Together, we’re helping moms cut through the complexity and get the breast pump they need as easily as possible,” said Josh Lucas, Chief Revenue Officer at Covered Commerce.
