Spectra Breast Pumps through Insurance

Although sometimes used interchangeably, hospital strength and hospital grade pumps are different. The Spectra pumps carried by 1 Natural Way - the Synergy Gold, S1 Plus, S2 Plus and the 9 Plus are hospital strength.

Generally, hospital grade breast pumps are designed to be used by multiple moms over an extended period of time. So they need to be strong, efficient, and hold up to very frequent pumping, being moved around a lot and being operated by moms who are still trying to get the hang of it. In other words, hospital grade pumps are heavy-duty!

A hospital strength breast pump, however, refers to one with stronger suction/vacuum like you may find in a breast pump for use in the hospital. Many moms find that a hospital-strength pump offers shorter, more efficient pumping sessions and some feel that they support better productivity as well.

There is really only one difference between the S1 and the S2 - a convenient, inbuilt rechargeable battery in the Spectra S1 Plus. The built-in battery offers three hours of battery life, making portability easy and worry-free.

Aside from the rechargeable battery in the Spectra S1 Plus, the S1 and S2 Plus are exactly the same (settings, shape, size, materials, etc.) - except for their color. The S1 is ONLY available in blue and the S2 is ONLY available in pink (sorry #boymom)!

Spectra breast pumps have SO MANY great features and are so highly rated that some moms think that they can't get one fully covered by insurance. The fact is, most moms that work with 1 Natural Way can get the Spectra S2 Plus through insurance at NO COST, and most plans also fully cover the Spectra 9 Plus.

While some insurance plans will cover the S1 Plus at 100%, most moms can expect to pay an upgrade fee between $29 and $99.

Spectra offers various models, but the most popular ones are the Spectra S1 and S2. The primary difference is that the S1 has a rechargeable battery, making it more portable, while the S2 operates on AC power. Both models have the same performance and features.
