[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi there, 
I am curios if anyone with UHC were able to get Medela from the three DME supplies that they mentioned (Byram, Edgepark and Lucina Care's)? When I called these three companies they told me that they are not contracted with UHC for Medela, but Ameda only, which we perceive not as good as Medela? If yes, please let me know.

I do agree with the post above that it does feel that the UHC 'hopes' that we will not be buying the pump thru insurance, but with out of pocket.

I'm 6/3 16:52 above (with the fantastic experience with Byram and not-so-fantastic with Edgepark).  I got a Medela from Byram.  It's some sort of Pump In Style, although not sure if it is called that.  It came with a tote, battery pack, adapter, four bottles, ice pack and cooler (and the pump and all parts, too, obviously).  Although I got the Medela, Ameda is just as good and is actually what the hospital carried.  The lactation consultant said they prefer Ameda because it's a closed system (i.e., milk cannot get into the tubing).  [/quote]
