We got approval for pumping in NZ

[Ivan's Mum]

Hi everyone, it's been months since I've been on but I just wanted to let everyone know that I have managed to get approval from my insurer for a pump. this is a big deal because as far as we can tell, I'm the first person in this country to get it.

Unlike the states where you pay huge insurance premiums, I only pay about $40 US a month for cover for my whole family. I can't get the disposables out of them but they are paying for the pump.

So heads up all you other new zealanders. If you've got insurance for your child, you may well be covered. I got declined at first but just pushed on and over heads and got it.

So the rest of you will see me back when I start puzzling over the pump.

Congratulations Francesca!! I hope you have made it possible for heaps more NZ kids to get pumps.:cwds: Who are you insured through? We can't even get Rachel covered :(

We're with sovereign but were from the time Ivan was born. No insurer here will cover you for a pre existing condition so whilst you will probably get her insured it won't be for the d or realted consitions. The only problem you have then is proving that what ever she comes down with isn't relating to D. Try dealing with a broker, they're more in the no. I didn't have one but know a lot about insurance.
