The fastest path to a no‑cost pump in Arizona
- If you’re already pregnant or postpartum and have insurance (AHCCCS or a private plan): contact your plan’s member services and request a covered pump. Under federal rules, your plan must cover a pump and lactation support with no cost‑sharing. Plans decide manual vs. electric and whether it’s a rental or purchase; many require a prescription. (healthcare.gov, hhs.gov)
- If you have no insurance: apply to AHCCCS immediately by phone at 855‑432‑7587 or online; if not eligible, check Marketplace plans and WIC. (azahcccs.gov)
- If you have TRICARE: get a prescription and obtain your pump through a network DME provider or buy and submit a claim. TRICARE also covers a defined list of supplies (for example, up to 100 storage bags every 30 days). (tricare.mil)
- If pumps aren’t provided by your insurance: ask your local WIC clinic about a personal pump to keep or a hospital‑grade loaner based on need and inventory; USDA confirms some WIC clinics provide pumps. (wicbreastfeeding.fns.usda.gov)
- Any time you’re stuck: call the Arizona Breastfeeding Hotline at 800‑833‑4642 for real‑time lactation help and direction to local resources. (des.az.gov)
Arizona WIC—breastfeeding support and possible pumps
What WIC offers in Arizona
- Breastfeeding support from peer counselors and lactation experts, extra WIC foods for nursing moms, and referrals. Arizona’s WIC program confirms it provides breastfeeding support and serves pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum parents. (azdhs.gov)
- Pumps through WIC: USDA states some WIC clinics provide personal pumps or hospital‑grade loaners depending on your situation (for example, returning to work/school or medical need). Availability varies by clinic—ask your local WIC office. (wicbreastfeeding.fns.usda.gov)
- 24/7 breastfeeding hotline: 800‑833‑4642 (English/Spanish). (des.az.gov)
Who qualifies for WIC in 2025–2026
WIC uses 185% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, updated annually. For July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026, the USDA published the following limits for the 48 contiguous states (including Arizona). (federalregister.gov)
Monthly income limits (effective July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026)
| Household Size | Monthly income at 185% FPG |
|---|---|
| 1 | $2,413 |
| 2 | $3,261 |

How to apply for Arizona WIC
- Call 800‑252‑5942 to connect with your nearest WIC clinic or use the Arizona WIC clinic finder to book an appointment. (azdhs.gov)
- Bring the basics: photo ID, proof of Arizona address, proof of income (pay stubs or benefits letter), and if pregnant, proof of pregnancy from your provider. Your clinic will tell you exactly what is accepted.
What to do if this doesn’t work: If your clinic has a waitlist for pumps or appointments, ask about a peer counselor callback and whether you qualify for a loaner hospital‑grade pump. You can also ask your OB or pediatrician to fax a medical‑need note to the clinic. If you need a pump sooner, contact your health plan for a covered pump and call 800‑833‑4642 for immediate breastfeeding help. (des.az.gov)
AHCCCS (Arizona Medicaid)—pregnancy and postpartum coverage
Eligibility for pregnant Arizonans in 2025
Arizona covers pregnant members up to 156% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) with no monthly premiums if eligible. The state’s eligibility manual shows the 02/01/2025 monthly income limits below. (azahcccs.gov, epm.azahcccs.gov)
AHCCCS Pregnant Women monthly income limits (effective 02/01/2025)
| Household Size | 156% FPL monthly limit |
|---|---|
| 1 | $2,035 |
| 2 | $2,750 |
| 3 | $3,465 |
| 4 | $4,180 |
| 5 | $4,895 |

| 7 | $6,325 |
Source: AHCCCS EPM 615.9 and AHCCCS Pregnant Women page. (epm.azahcccs.gov, azahcccs.gov)
12‑month postpartum coverage
Arizona extended postpartum Medicaid coverage to 12 months (effective April 1, 2023), and the policy remains in effect in 2025. The AHCCCS eligibility manual defines the postpartum period as 12 months from the end of pregnancy, and AHCCCS’ announcement confirms the extension. (epm.azahcccs.gov, azahcccs.gov)
How to apply fast
- Apply online or by phone: 855‑432‑7587 (Health‑e‑Arizona Plus) or online at HEAplus. Phone hours and instructions are listed on the AHCCCS contacts page. (azahcccs.gov)
- Bring: ID, Social Security number (or proof you applied), Arizona residency proof, pregnancy verification, and income proof (recent pay stubs, award letters). AHCCCS has no monthly premiums for eligible pregnant members. (azahcccs.gov)
Breast pump and lactation coverage under AHCCCS
- Pumps: AHCCCS covers medically necessary equipment, but each plan manages details like pump type, timing, and prior authorization. AHCCCS requires prior authorization for fee‑for‑service DME items over 300∗∗andrentals/repairsforsuppliesover∗∗300** and rentals/repairs for supplies over **100; managed care plans have their own PA rules. Ask your plan for its current breast pump policy and in‑network DME providers. (azahcccs.gov)
- Lactation support: Federal law requires lactation support and pumps for most private plans; Medicaid coverage specifics are plan‑managed. Many AHCCCS plans connect members to breastfeeding support and care coordination—ask your plan if outpatient lactation visits are covered and how to get a referral. If you cannot access a covered visit, the state hotline at 800‑833‑4642 is always available. (healthcare.gov)
What to do if this doesn’t work: Ask your OB or pediatrician to fax a prescription for a breast pump citing medical need (for example, infant in NICU, latching issues, return to work/school). Call your plan’s member services and request the list of in‑network DME suppliers that can ship a pump. If prior authorization is delayed, ask your plan for an expedited review due to feeding needs, and call WIC to check for a loaner pump in the meantime. (wicbreastfeeding.fns.usda.gov)
KidsCare (CHIP) for your baby after birth
If your newborn isn’t Medicaid‑eligible but is uninsured, KidsCare may help. Arizona expanded KidsCare to 225% FPL (effective 03/01/2024), and the 02/01/2025 monthly limits are below. KidsCare has modest premiums based on income and no copays. (azahcccs.gov, epm.azahcccs.gov)
KidsCare monthly income limits (225% FPL, effective 02/01/2025)
| Household Size | Monthly income limit |
|---|---|
| 1 | $2,935 |
| 2 | $3,966 |
| 3 | $4,997 |
| 4 | $6,029 |
| 5 | $7,060 |
| 6 | $8,091 |
| 7 | $9,122 |
Premiums vary by income tier; the state’s premium chart shows amounts by household and tier (for example, one child 10–10–50). Apply through Health‑e‑Arizona Plus at 855‑432‑7587. (epm.azahcccs.gov, azahcccs.gov)
What to do if this doesn’t work: If income is just over KidsCare limits, ask a marketplace assister (Cover Arizona) to check for a $0‑premium plan with subsidies at 800‑377‑3536, or call 2‑1‑1 for navigation help. (211arizona.org)
Private/Marketplace insurance—get your pump covered
Your rights
- Most non‑grandfathered plans must cover breastfeeding support, counseling, and a breast pump for the duration of breastfeeding with no copay/coinsurance. Plans may set reasonable rules (manual vs. electric, rental vs. purchase, when you can get it, and whether you need a prescription). (healthcare.gov, pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
Steps that work
- Call the member number on your ID card and ask:
- Does my plan cover a manual or electric pump?
- Do I need a prescription and can my provider e‑fax it?
- Do you ship the pump directly or do I order through a DME supplier?
- How soon can I receive it (before vs. after delivery)?
- Ask for in‑network DME options that can ship statewide. Keep notes of who you spoke with, date/time, and any authorization numbers.
What to do if this doesn’t work: If your plan refuses to cover a pump, ask for the medical management policy and a written denial, then appeal. If an in‑network lactation provider isn’t available, federal guidance says plans must cover out‑of‑network services with no cost‑sharing. (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
TRICARE—military and veteran families
- Covers a manual or standard electric pump, a defined list of supplies (for example, up to 100 storage bags every 30 days post‑birth), and up to six individual outpatient lactation‑counseling visits per birth event, with a prescription. Hospital‑grade pump rentals are covered when medically necessary with authorization. (tricare.mil)
- How to get it:
- Step 1: get a prescription (type of pump specified).
- Step 2: obtain via an in‑network DME supplier, base exchange, or buy and file a claim.
- Step 3: keep receipts and submit DD Form 2642 if you paid out of pocket.
What to do if this doesn’t work: Call your TRICARE regional contractor for help with authorizations and covered suppliers; ask your MTF lactation clinic to document medical necessity for hospital‑grade rentals. (tricare.mil)
Your rights at work to pump milk
- Federal protections: Under the PUMP Act, most employees can take reasonable break time to pump and must be provided a private space (not a bathroom) for up to one year after birth. The DOL explains details in Fact Sheet #73 and #73A (updated March 2025). (dol.gov)
- If your boss refuses: You can file a confidential complaint with the Wage & Hour Division at 866‑487‑9243 or contact your local WHD office; remedies may include lost wages and other damages. (dol.gov)
- Arizona law in public spaces: State law says a mother may breastfeed anywhere she is lawfully present in public or a place of public accommodation. Keep this in your phone if anyone challenges you. (azleg.gov)
What to do if this doesn’t work: Document what happened (dates/times), keep texts/emails, and call 866‑487‑9243 for help enforcing your rights. You can also show your employer the DOL “Pump at Work” guidance page. (dol.gov)
Quick reference cheat sheet

How to pick the right pump—and actually get it
Start with your coverage, then match pump type to your situation
- Manual: small and silent; good backup.
- Double electric (standard): best for frequent pumping, faster milk removal.
- Hospital‑grade (rental): for medical situations (preterm/NICU, low supply) with a provider prescription and plan authorization.
Tip: Ask your provider to include diagnosis and “double‑electric breast pump for duration of breastfeeding” on the prescription. Plans often approve faster with specific wording. Keep a copy.
What to do if this doesn’t work: Ask your plan for approved in‑network DME suppliers that ship statewide; check if prior authorization is needed and whether your provider or the DME handles it. While you wait, call WIC about a loaner if you meet need criteria. (azahcccs.gov, wicbreastfeeding.fns.usda.gov)
Hospital help and financial assistance for delivery costs
- Choose a hospital with strong lactation support. Baby‑Friendly designated facilities follow evidence‑based breastfeeding standards. Use the Baby‑Friendly USA search tool to find designated facilities. (babyfriendlyusa.org)
- If you’re uninsured or facing large bills:
- Banner Health: financial assistance line 888‑264‑2127 and application materials online. (bannerhealth.com)
- Dignity Health (St. Joseph’s, Mercy Gilbert, Chandler Regional, etc.): customer service 866‑621‑7272 or 602‑406‑3860; Mesa campus financial counselor 602‑433‑7430; program covers free or discounted care based on income. (dignityhealth.org)
What to do if this doesn’t work: Ask the hospital’s financial counselor about presumptive eligibility screening for AHCCCS and check if you qualify for a charity‑care discount or no‑interest payment plan. Many hospitals must offer written financial assistance policies. (bannerhealth.com)
Local organizations and support
- Arizona WIC: breastfeeding support, foods, and referrals; statewide number 800‑252‑5942. (azdhs.gov)
- Arizona Breastfeeding Hotline: 24/7 help at 800‑833‑4642. (des.az.gov)
- La Leche League USA: free peer support groups (in‑person/virtual). Use the group locator to find meetings near you. (lllusa.org)
- Maggie’s Place (Maricopa County): housing and support for pregnant women; intake 602‑246‑3724. (maggiesplace.org)
- Strong Families AZ: connects families to free home‑visiting programs (Healthy Families AZ, Nurse‑Family Partnership, etc.). (strongfamiliesaz.com)
- 2‑1‑1 Arizona: dial 2‑1‑1 or 877‑211‑8661 for diapers, transportation, rental help, and more. (211arizona.org)
Region‑by‑region pointers
- Phoenix area: Banner and Dignity sites have lactation programs; both systems list financial assistance contacts online—888‑264‑2127 (Banner) and 866‑621‑7272 / 602‑406‑3860 (Dignity). Use the WIC clinic finder for locations near your ZIP code. (bannerhealth.com, dignityhealth.org)
- Tucson area: Call 2‑1‑1 for nearest WIC clinics and hospital lactation services; for workplace issues, you can still use the DOL toll‑free line 866‑487‑9243. (211arizona.org, dol.gov)
- Yuma, Flagstaff, and rural counties: Strong Families AZ can connect you to home‑visiting nurses and WIC clinics; many plans will ship pumps via mail—ask for in‑network DME that ships statewide. (strongfamiliesaz.com)
Application checklist
- Proof of identity: driver’s license, state ID, or other photo ID
- Proof of Arizona residency: utility bill, lease, or a letter addressed to you
- Proof of income: last 30 days of pay stubs, unemployment award, or benefits letter
- Proof of pregnancy: note from provider with due date (for AHCCCS/WIC)
- Insurance card: if you have one; if not, apply to AHCCCS first at 855‑432‑7587 (azahcccs.gov)
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming your plan will only cover a manual pump: many plans will cover a double‑electric with a prescription—ask. (healthcare.gov)
- Waiting until after delivery to order: some plans allow shipment before birth with a prescription—confirm timing. (healthcare.gov)
- Not asking for out‑of‑network coverage when no in‑network lactation is available: plans must allow out‑of‑network at no cost‑sharing when the network lacks providers. (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
- Skipping WIC because you think you won’t qualify: income limits are higher than many expect (up to 185% FPG). (federalregister.gov)
- Pumping at work in a bathroom: the law requires a private, non‑bathroom space; call 866‑487‑9243 if your employer refuses. (dol.gov)
Real‑world examples
- Returning to work at 3 weeks postpartum: Ask your OB for a double‑electric pump prescription, contact your plan for an in‑network DME supplier, and request shipment to your home. If you run into delays, call WIC to ask about a loaner hospital‑grade pump and call the Breastfeeding Hotline (800‑833‑4642) for latch and pumping planning. (wicbreastfeeding.fns.usda.gov, des.az.gov)
- No insurance, due next month: Apply to AHCCCS by phone at 855‑432‑7587. Once approved, ask your plan to ship a covered pump. Call Arizona WIC to start breastfeeding support now. (azahcccs.gov, azdhs.gov)
- NICU baby: Ask the hospital lactation team for a hospital‑grade pump rental order; AHCCCS or TRICARE can authorize rentals when medically necessary. Continue WIC and hotline support after discharge. (azahcccs.gov, tricare.mil)
Diverse communities
- LGBTQ+ single mothers: Rights: your coverage and workplace pumping rights apply the same. Support: ask WIC for an LGBTQ‑affirming peer counselor and use DOL resources if your employer discriminates; document and call 866‑487‑9243. (dol.gov)
- Single mothers with disabilities or disabled children: Ask for accommodations during WIC or plan appointments (longer visit time, accessible locations). AHCCCS care coordinators can help with medical equipment and home‑visiting referrals; ask Strong Families AZ for a program match. (strongfamiliesaz.com)
- Veteran single mothers: TRICARE covers pumps, supplies, and lactation visits; get a prescription and contact your regional contractor or MTF. (tricare.mil)
- Immigrant and refugee single mothers: AHCCCS coverage depends on immigration status, but WIC eligibility is not tied to immigration status and supports parents/guardians applying for infants and children—ask your local clinic. Use interpreters via 2‑1‑1 if needed. (211arizona.org)
- Tribal citizens: Breastfeeding support is available through WIC and IHS/Tribal facilities; AHCCCS postpartum 12‑month coverage also applies if you were enrolled while pregnant. Ask your IHS hospital for lactation services and WIC referrals. (epm.azahcccs.gov)
- Rural single moms: Request DME suppliers that ship pumps to your home; use tele‑lactation through your plan or hotline and Strong Families AZ to connect with home‑visiting nurses. (strongfamiliesaz.com)
- Single fathers: WIC allows parents, guardians, and foster parents to apply for infants/children; dads can get infant‑feeding support and referrals, too. (azdhs.gov)
- Language access: WIC, AHCCCS, and 2‑1‑1 offer interpreter services; DOL accepts complaints in any language and can arrange interpreters. (211arizona.org)
Step‑by‑step: get your pump ordered this week
- Call your plan with your member ID and ask for the list of in‑network DME pump suppliers.
- Ask your OB/midwife to send a prescription directly to your chosen supplier. Include your due date and pump type.
- Confirm shipping and tracking. If delayed, request expedited processing and ask your provider to note medical urgency.
- Book WIC to add peer counselor support and get backup options if shipping is slow.
- Set up work pumping with HR—show them the DOL “Pump at Work” fact sheet if needed. (dol.gov)
What if everything hits a wall
- Appeal the plan denial in writing; ask for the plan’s medical policy for breast pumps.
- Escalate to state or federal help: For workplace issues, call 866‑487‑9243 (DOL). For benefits navigation, dial 2‑1‑1. (dol.gov, 211arizona.org)
- Bridge the gap: Ask WIC about loaner pumps and call the Breastfeeding Hotline (800‑833‑4642) for practical workarounds while approvals are pending. (wicbreastfeeding.fns.usda.gov, des.az.gov)
