Breast Pump Rentals
You can rent a hospital-grade Medela breast pump from VHC Health for your use at home. The pump's technology can help you get as much breast milk as possible and reduce your time pumping. The pump can be picked up at the Women and Infant Health Administrative Office located in the lobby of the Women and Infant Health building at 1701 N George Mason Drive, Arlington VA.
Most insurance companies offer coverage for breast pump rentals. While VHC Health does not process insurance claims for breast pump rentals and can't guarantee insurance coverage, you may submit your receipt to your insurance to seek reimbursement.
