Oh! I misread your comment. I went to the following website: https://aeroflowbreastpumps.com and I put my insurance information and it showed me the whole list of pumps my insurance would cover. I think the 400 storage bags is a benefit of my insurance. I have Medica. I hope this helps.

Thread: "Help me pick the best breast pump"
If you are in the US and have health insurance, all insurance plans that comply with the ACA (so basically all of them) are required to cover one pump per pregnancy. How to get that covered depends on your insurance. You can use a site like Aeroflow that you can plug your insurance into and they’ll handle figuring out what your plan covers.

You can go to multiple sites like Aeroflow or 1 natural way. They run your insurance and see what your insurance covers. There are usually free options (basic pumps) but the nicer ones usually have an upcharge. You may get replacement pump parts covered 100%, or partially covered. I’ve always gotten free breast milk storage bags.

Thread: "Which wearable breast pump would you recommend as a primary pump? (FTM)"
I have the elvie stride 2 and I would recommend it! I've had no issues though I only use it when I'm sitting at my desk and working from home so I can't talk to the experience of walking around while it's on. No leaks from the device, well made, lots of the nipple size option things to get your right fit. I think I chose the 2 over the elvie original because of the nipple sizes options that come with it, but I think I only paid $20-30 extra so at $100 more it might not be worth it. Honestly I think any pump will function enough for it's purposes so I would go with whatever insurance covers or pay up to $20 extra but that's it. To pay $100 vs getting something free I don't think you'll find a big enough difference. The pump has a strong force though I only spends about ten to 15 minutes pumping I think. I had a spectra 2 before this and the convenience of a wearable is so much better, so I definitely say stick to looking at these wearable brands like you are. For the elvie 2, it is not dishwasher safe or microwave sanitizer safe and you do have to put it in boiling water, so if that's a big inconvenience if you're pumping a lot then might be worth finding something to throw in the dishwasher for a basic clean or the microwave to sanitize. I don't pump that often so it's fine for my purposes of just having to do it occasionally. The elvie 2 isn't too loud but I still wouldn't be able to take a call while pumping I think. I can't imagine any pump would be that quiet though they're probably all about the same.

Thread: "Hands free breast pumps"
I have the willow go and the Elvie stride 2. The willow go is pretty big and bulky, I need a very supportive bra to hold it in place, this compresses my breasts and I get clogs often. I have to massage my breasts when using it, so it’s not so hands free anymore. Otherwise the suction is good and empties me as much as my spectra. I use the Elvie stride 2 as my primary most of the time! I like the low profile of the cups and it’s light in my bra and doesn’t give me clogs. The Elvie stride 2 doesn’t have an opening at the top like the willow go so I can bend over and move around more.
I have the Elvie Stride 2 and love it. It offers hospital grade suction. It does have a cord, but I haven't had any issues with it. I typically wear the motor on my waistband when I'm moving around. The cups are small enough that I can hold baby, although it is still a bit awkward.
