Breast Milk Storage Bags: Quantity Update

Monday, May 1, 2023

In 2019, TRICARE announced benefit changes to breast pump/breast pump supplies. One of the changes was coverage of 90 individual breast milk storage bags every 30 days. 

What’s new?
Retroactive to Jan. 25, 2023, TRICARE now covers 100 breast milk bags every 30 days. This change will help with billing by aligning with how breast milk bags are packaged. 

As a reminder, breast pumps and supplies are covered beginning week 27 of pregnancy or the birth of a child if prior to 27 weeks, and for mothers who legally adopt who intend to breastfeed. Please visit our Breast Pumps and Supplies benefit details page for additional information. We also offer a Breast Pumps and Supplies Billing Tips page to assist with claim submissions.
