Rentals at The Breastfeeding Center

 

Common Questions

 
  • Choose your rental and then choose the duration for your rental. Your billing schedule will begin once you pick up your rental from The Breastfeeding Center. You will then be charged every day, once a week, or month, depending on how long you hold onto your rental for. For instance, if you choose a 3-month rate for a Medela Symphony, you would be charged $69 each month. Each rental will have a $30 deposit, which you will receive once your return your rental back to us (considering there is no damage to the rental).

  • The deposit covers additional unforeseen rental time. If the rental is returned on time, in clean condition, and undamaged, the deposit will be refunded. If the rental is less than 1 week late the deposit will be forfeit to cover that additional time. Rentals returned more than 1 week late will need to be brought up to date through the final return date, either before, or at the time they are returned.

  • While we are in-network for lactation consultation appointments with several insurers, we are not an in-network provider for hospital-grade pumps or scales and cannot provide forms or codes for pump rentals.

  • We do have a small number of Grant Pumps available each month! Please TEXT us at (202) 293-5182 to see if we have a Grant Pump currently available. If so, just complete a Financial Assistance application to get approved for a Grant Pump Rental term.

  • Absolutely, have your HR department or the appropriate person reach out to natasha@breastfeedingcenter.org. Most of our employers choose either to purchase hospital grade pumps through us, or to rent at the yearly rate.
