Free breast pumps through NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid)

The most important step

Call NJ FamilyCare at: 1-800-701-0710 (TTY 711) and apply for pregnancy coverage if you’re not enrolled. Once enrolled, call your MCO and request a breast pump. (nj.gov)

Why this works

New Jersey’s official covered services list includes “Breast feeding equipment.” That means your NJ FamilyCare plan can supply a pump through its durable medical equipment (DME) network. (nj.gov)

Who qualifies

• Pregnancy Medicaid (NJ FamilyCare): Families with income at or below 205% FPL. For a family of 4, that’s $5,493/month in 2025. Coverage lasts through pregnancy and 12 months postpartum, regardless of income changes during that period. Newborns qualify up to first birthday. (nj.gov)

How to apply fast

• Apply online: NJ FamilyCare online application. Or call 1-800-701-0710 to apply by phone. Hours: Mon/Thu 8 a.m.–8 p.m.; Tue/Wed/Fri 8 a.m.–5 p.m. (nj.gov)
• Need help locally: Call your Medical Assistance Customer Center (MACC):
  Bergen/Passaic/Morris/Sussex/Warren: 1-862-338-9890
  Essex/Hudson: 1-862-682-4430
  Monmouth/Ocean/Middlesex/Hunterdon/Somerset/Union: 1-908-430-0231
  Atlantic/Burlington/Camden/Cape May/Cumberland/Gloucester/Mercer/Salem: 1-856-209-0520. (nj.gov)

After approval: ask your MCO for a pump

Most NJ FamilyCare members are in a managed care plan. Call your plan’s Member Services:

• Aetna Better Health of NJ: 1-855-232-3596
• Amerigroup: 1-800-600-4441
• Horizon NJ Health: 1-800-682-9090
• UnitedHealthcare Community Plan: 1-800-941-4647
• WellCare: 1-888-453-2534. (nj.gov)

Ask for an in‑network DME supplier and whether your plan covers a manual, standard double‑electric, or hospital‑grade rental (medically necessary). Tell them your due date and where to ship.

Required documents

• Proof of pregnancy: Your provider’s note or standard form.
• ID and address: Driver’s license or other ID.
• Insurance info: NJ FamilyCare ID number.

Realistic timeline

• Enrollment: Many approvals are quick, but allow 2–4 weeks. If you need coverage now, ask your provider about Presumptive Eligibility (PE) for immediate temporary coverage. (nj.gov)
• Pump delivery: Once the DME order is placed, shipping is usually a few business days; hospital‑grade rentals may require additional documentation from your provider (e.g., NICU stay, infant latch issues).

Common mistakes to avoid

• Waiting until after delivery: Order during the third trimester so the pump arrives on time.
• Not calling your MCO: NJ FamilyCare covers pumps, but you must use your plan’s DME network.
• Missing info: If a hospital‑grade rental is requested, have your provider send the medical necessity note promptly.

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Try WIC for a loaner or replacement parts and peer lactation support. See “WIC: pumps and support.” (nj.gov)
• Appeal with your plan if denied. Ask for help from your MACC or the NJ FamilyCare call center 1-800-701-0710 (TTY 711). (nj.gov)

Free breast pumps through private or Marketplace plans (GetCoveredNJ)

The most important step

Call your plan’s Member Services and say: “I want to use my breastfeeding benefit to get a double electric breast pump and lactation support at no cost.”

Your rights in New Jersey

• State law: NJ requires plans to cover comprehensive lactation support and consultation and the purchase of a double electric breast pump (or manual if you choose) with no cost‑sharing. Plans cannot require prior authorization, medical necessity documentation, or a prescription for the standard single‑user pump, and coverage is available any time during pregnancy and postpartum. Coverage includes repair or replacement, sizing flanges, and two pump kits per birth. Plans must furnish the pump within required timeframes (e.g., within 48 hours after birth if requested then, or by two weeks before the due date if requested earlier). (pub.njleg.gov)
• Federal ACA rule: Health plans must cover breastfeeding support, counseling, and a breast pump for the duration of breastfeeding, with details (manual vs. electric/rental) guided by your provider and plan. (healthcare.gov)

How to get yours

• Step 1: Call your insurer (see the number on your card). If enrolled via GetCoveredNJ, you can also call the Marketplace 1-833-677-1010 for plan contact info. (nj.gov)
• Step 2: Ask for their in‑network DME supplier list and how to submit the order. Most suppliers accept a simple form from your OB/midwife.
• Step 3: If you want a hospital‑grade rental, ask your provider to send a letter (e.g., separation from baby, supply issues). Plans may require this for multi‑user pumps, which are also covered when recommended. (pub.njleg.gov)

Common mistakes to avoid

• Buying before confirming coverage: Don’t pay out‑of‑pocket first; your plan has contracted suppliers.
• Assuming wearables are always covered: NJ law guarantees a double electric pump; wearable brands may be covered or partially covered by your plan’s policy.
• Missing the shipment window: Plans have timelines—ask for delivery two weeks before your due date.

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Escalate with your plan’s grievance process citing NJ law (P.L. 2019, c.343). (pub.njleg.gov)
• Apply for NJ FamilyCare if your income fits, or ask WIC for loaner support. (nj.gov, nj.gov)

WIC: pumps, peer counselors, and more

The most important step

Find your nearest WIC clinic and ask for a breastfeeding appointment. Bring your ID and proof of NJ residency and income.

• WIC local agency finder: New Jersey’s directory lists agencies and phone numbers by county. Examples:
  City of Newark WIC: 973-733-7604; Newark Beth Israel WIC: 973-705-3504; Rutgers NJMS WIC: 973-972-3416; East Orange WIC: 973-395-8960.
  Hudson County: NHCAC WIC: 201-866-4700; Jersey City WIC: 201-547-6842.
  Bergen County (St. Joseph’s satellite): 973-754-4575. (nj.gov)

What WIC offers

• Breastfeeding counseling by IBCLCs and peers.
• A telephone warm line for breastfeeding questions.
• Breast pumps and aids when needed (loaner/rental availability varies by clinic). (nj.gov)

Who qualifies in 2025

Income up to 185% FPL (gross). New Jersey’s WIC income guidelines for June 1, 2025–June 30, 2026 are:

(Add $848 per additional person.) If you receive SNAP, TANF, or Medicaid, you’re automatically income‑eligible. (nj.gov)

Your monthly fruit and vegetable benefit (FY 2025)

• Pregnant or postpartum: $47/month
• Mostly or fully breastfeeding parent: $52/month
• Children 1–4: $26/month

USDA locked in these FY 2025 amounts (Oct. 1, 2024–Sept. 30, 2025). (fns.usda.gov)

Common mistakes to avoid

• Waiting to enroll until after delivery: Apply while pregnant; you’ll get nutrition counseling and an earlier pathway to pump support.
• Not asking about pump options: If you’re returning to work/school or separated from baby, ask specifically about pumps.

What to do if this doesn’t work

• If a local office can’t supply a pump, ask for a referral and class schedule, and use your health plan benefit to obtain a personal pump.

Your rights to pump at work (and in public)

The most important step

Tell HR in writing that you will need break time and a private space (not a bathroom) to express milk. Give your expected date and times.

Your protections

• Federal PUMP Act (DOL): Most employees are entitled to reasonable break time and a private space not a bathroom to pump at work for 1 year after birth. Small employers may claim undue hardship only in limited cases. (dol.gov)
• New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD): Employers must provide reasonable accommodations for pregnancy, breastfeeding, and lactation, including reasonable break time and a suitable private space (not a toilet stall) near the work area. Guidance updated December 17, 2024 explains examples and your rights. You can file a complaint with the NJ Division on Civil Rights. (njoag.gov)
• Breastfeeding in public: NJ law supports your right to breastfeed anywhere you have a right to be. (nj.gov)

Extra support in New Jersey

• Public lactation rooms law: Certain public facilities must provide lactation rooms. (nj.gov)
• Sales tax savings: Breast pumps, parts, and repair/maintenance are exempt from NJ sales tax. (nj.gov)

Common mistakes to avoid

• Waiting to ask your employer: Give notice before you return to work so they can set up a compliant space.
• Being told to use a bathroom: This is not allowed under federal law.

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Call the U.S. DOL Wage & Hour Division or NJ Division on Civil Rights for help enforcing your rights. (dol.gov, njoag.gov)

Paid leave and cash benefits in New Jersey (TDI + FLI)

The most important step

Apply for TDI as soon as your provider certifies your pregnancy‑related disability (often beginning just before delivery and lasting post‑delivery), then apply for FLI to bond after your TDI ends.

What you can receive in 2025

• Benefit rate: 85% of your average weekly wage, up to $1,081/week (TDI and FLI). (nj.gov)
• Typical duration: TDI pays while you are medically unable to work; NJ DOL notes maternity paths typically total 10–12 weeks for recovery. FLI pays up to 12 consecutive weeks or 56 intermittent days for bonding in the first year. (nj.gov)
• Base year threshold (2025): At least 20 weeks with $303/week\ast \ast ,or\ast \ast$15,200 total in the base year. (nj.gov)
• Waiting week (TDI): The first 7 days are unpaid unless your disability lasts 22+ days, in which case they’re paid retroactively. (nj.gov)
• Funding and payroll deductions (2025):
  TDI worker contribution 0.23% on wages up to $165,400\ast \ast (max\ast \ast$380.42).
  FLI worker contribution 0.33% on wages up to $165,400\ast \ast (max\ast \ast$545.82). (nj.gov)

Job protection

Cash benefits do not automatically protect your job. Combine:

• FMLA (federal) and NJ Family Leave Act (state) for up to 24 weeks total of job‑protected leave when used back‑to‑back for recovery and bonding. (nj.gov)

How to apply quickly

• TDI online at NJDOL; then, when recovery ends, FLI online for bonding. File within 30 days of the start of leave to avoid reductions. (See NJDOL FAQs for details.) (nj.gov)

Common mistakes to avoid

• Late filing: Apply within the timelines; late claims can be reduced or denied.
• Not submitting the medical provider’s part: Your provider must complete their section for TDI.

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Appeal a denial and contact NJDOL for help. Processing delays happen—complete applications and provider forms reduce delays. (nj.gov)

Extra maternity supports you can use right now

• Doula coverage for NJ FamilyCare members: Ask your plan about covered doula services before, during, and after birth. (nj.gov)
• Family Connects NJ free nurse home visits: Available in 11 counties (Essex, Middlesex, Mercer, Gloucester, Cumberland, and expanding in 2025 to Somerset, Sussex, Passaic, Hudson, Bergen, Ocean). Visits typically occur within two weeks after birth; up to three visits if needed. Contact your county partner (examples listed on the program page). (nj.gov, nj.gov)
• Hospital Charity Care: If you’re uninsured and have hospital bills for labor/delivery, ask the hospital financial office about Charity Care. You can also call 1-866-588-5696 with questions. (nj.gov, nj.gov)
• If you’re undocumented: Prenatal and family planning care may be covered through NJ Supplemental Prenatal and Contraceptive Program (NJSPCP), and MEPP can cover labor and delivery. Ask at your clinic or County Board of Social Services within 3 months after the emergency. (nj.gov)
• Baby‑Friendly hospitals: Some NJ hospitals recognized in 2024 include Jersey City Medical Center, JFK University Medical Center (Edison), Chilton Medical Center (Pompton Plains), Virtua Mount Holly, and Virtua Voorhees. Use the Baby‑Friendly map to find facilities statewide. (babyfriendlyusa.org)

---

Application checklist

• Proof of pregnancy: Provider note or prenatal record.
• Identification and address: State ID/driver’s license; lease or utility bill.
• Income documentation: Recent pay stubs or benefits letter (for WIC, NJ FamilyCare).
• Insurance card: If already insured; have your Member ID ready.
• Provider contact info: OB/midwife office fax/phone for TDI and DME orders.
• Your availability and shipping address: For pump delivery scheduling.

---

Common mistakes to avoid

• Assuming pumps aren’t covered: In New Jersey they are—Medicaid and private plans cover pumps and lactation support. Ask for it. (nj.gov, pub.njleg.gov)
• Not filing TDI/FLI in time: Missed deadlines cause payment delays or reductions. File within 30 days and ensure your provider completes their section. (nj.gov)
• Waiting to enroll in WIC: Early enrollment increases your support and access to pumps when needed. (nj.gov)
• Letting your employer push you to pump in a bathroom: That’s not legal. You’re entitled to a private, non‑bathroom space. (dol.gov)

---

What to do if this doesn’t work (Plan B options)

• Denied a pump: Cite NJ law to your plan and request an internal appeal; for Medicaid, ask your MCO for DME alternatives and involve your MACC. (pub.njleg.gov, nj.gov)
• No coverage and undocumented: Use NJSPCP for prenatal care and MEPP for labor/delivery costs. Ask your hospital financial counselor. (nj.gov)
• Trouble pumping at work: Contact the NJ Division on Civil Rights or the U.S. Department of Labor. (njoag.gov, dol.gov)

---

Diverse communities

• LGBTQ+ single mothers: You are covered by NJ LAD’s protections against discrimination and entitled to lactation accommodations and family leave benefits. Reach out to the NJ Division on Civil Rights if you face barriers. (njoag.gov)
• Single mothers with disabilities or caring for a child with disabilities: When applying for NJ FamilyCare, ask for help from your MACC. If you need pumping space or schedule accommodations, reference NJ LAD reasonable accommodations guidance. (nj.gov, njoag.gov)
• Veteran single mothers: VA offers maternity care coordination through 12 months postpartum, lactation support, and supplies (including breast pumps and nursing bras). Contact the Women Veterans Call Center at 1-855-829-6636 or your local VA Women Veterans Program Manager. (news.va.gov, womenshealth.va.gov)
• Immigrant/refugee single moms: NJ FamilyCare covers many lawfully present pregnant people up to 205% FPL; if not eligible, NJSPCP covers prenatal care and MEPP can cover labor/delivery. WIC eligibility does not depend on immigration status. (nj.gov)
• Tribal citizens living in NJ: You can use all New Jersey programs listed here based on residence and income. For additional lactation support, use the WIC local agency finder and Baby‑Friendly hospital search. (nj.gov, babyfriendlyusa.org)
• Rural moms with limited access: Ask your plan about mailed pumps, tele‑lactation sessions, and Family Connects nurse home visits (see county availability). (nj.gov)
• Single fathers raising infants: NJ FamilyCare, WIC for infants/children, and FLI for bonding are available. You also have workplace pumping rights when supporting a lactating partner at medical appointments (job protections depend on employer policies and state/federal laws). (nj.gov)
• Language access: NJ FamilyCare call center provides live translation—say your language and ask for an interpreter. (nj.gov)

Real‑world examples

• Example – Getting a pump through NJ FamilyCare: You apply for NJ FamilyCare at 1-800-701-0710, enroll in Horizon NJ Health, call 1-800-682-9090, and ask for an in‑network DME supplier. Your OB uploads a simple form. A standard double‑electric pump arrives at your apartment 1–3 days later. If your baby lands in the NICU, your OB sends a medical‑necessity note and the plan arranges a hospital‑grade rental. (nj.gov, nj.gov)
• Example – Using state law with a private plan: You’re on a Marketplace plan. You call Member Services and quote NJ’s lactation coverage law (P.L. 2019, c.343). They process a double electric pump at $0 and book you with an in‑network IBCLC for flange fitting and return‑to‑work planning. (pub.njleg.gov)

---

Frequently asked questions (New Jersey, 2025)

• Do I need a prescription for a standard breast pump from my private plan: No. NJ law says plans can’t require prior authorization, documentation of medical necessity, or a prescription for a single‑user pump. (pub.njleg.gov)
• Can I get the pump before delivery: Yes. Coverage is available during pregnancy and postpartum. Plans must furnish the pump by the later of two weeks before your due date or 72 hours after notification. If requested after the birth, it must be furnished within 48 hours. (pub.njleg.gov)

Reality checks, warnings, and tips

• Processing delays happen: For TDI/FLI, incomplete forms are the top cause of delays. Submit the provider section quickly. (nj.gov)
• Pump model expectations: Plans must cover a double electric pump at $0, but brand/model varies. Wearables may require an upgrade fee.
• Hospital‑grade rentals: Often limited to medical need (e.g., NICU, supply issues). Ask your provider to document quickly. (pub.njleg.gov)
• Pumping at work: If HR is unfamiliar with the law, share links to DOL’s PUMP Act page and the NJ LAD guidance. (dol.gov, njoag.gov)
