What is Milk Moms?
Milk Moms is an accredited and credentialed Durable Medical Equipment (DME) provider. We have contracts with most national insurance plans and several Medicaid plans. We were started in 1996 with the intention of being a resource for new and expecting Moms. From that, we grew into a DME that specializes in breast pumps. We now offer the widest selection of breast pumps through insurance. Over the years, we have expanded our products and services to help support Mom during pregnancy and postpartum, beyond just the breast pump. Our maternity item program, milk storage bag program, and car seat program are some examples of this. Here is more information on our programs.
How can Milk Moms help your patients?
Milk Moms has the widest selection of breast pumps available through insurance and a staff of breast pump experts ready to consult with each patient to help navigate through all the options. This prevents Mom from being overwhelmed by all the options, while still allowing Mom to get the perfect pump for their breastfeeding journey. We have maternity items ranging from maternity compression socks and pregnancy support bands to help during pregnancy and postpartum recovery garments and milk storage bags to help after birth. We realize that the insurance process can be difficult and confusing, which is why we take care of that as well. We verify patient eligibility, get an estimate of coverage, and handle all billing requirements, making it painless for the patient.
How can Milk Moms help providers and staff?
Milk Moms aims to be a one-stop-shop for all of Mom’s insurance covered needs, meaning providers only need to coordinate with one DME. We process orders quickly and can distribute items as soon as the same day. We realize that each location and provider has their own processes and needs, which is why our individual approach to patients extends to providers. In doing this, we are able to adjust to your processes and work with you, ensuring a better experience for the patient and less stress for providers.
What kind of providers does Milk Moms work with?
Milk Moms works with any and all providers. We have a wide range of partners, from individuals who are a “one-man shop”, midwifery teams, birth centers, clinics and hospitals, and more. We also work with individuals, organizations, and communities that do not have medical credentials. Our vision is to support moms during pregnancy and postpartum; if you have a similar interest, then we would love to partner with you as well.
As a provider, what does it mean to partner with Milk Moms?
That is really up to the provider. We have a range of informal partnerships and formal partnerships with providers. In some instances, we will just share marketing materials with a provider. In other instances, the provider will refer patients or send referrals to us. Even further, there are some providers that we provide in-services, demos, and consignment for.
