A valid prescription is essential for your Babylist Health breast pump order. While many may assume that any prescription signed or provided by a doctor is good to go, it's important to note that specific insurance plans and products have unique prescription requirements.
Here is a list of valid prescription criteria:
| Prescription Criteria | Valid Prescription |
|---|---|
| First and Last Name | The first and last name must match the name on the insurance card and the name on the prescription form. |
| Diagnosis Code | A valid diagnosis code, which is a combination of letters and numbers, is required to help us identify the reason for the prescription. |
| Patient DOB (Date of Birth) | The date of birth (DOB) on your prescription must match the information on the patient's insurance card. |
| NPI (National Provider Identifier) number |
The NPI (National Provider Identifier) number is a ten-digit number that identifies your medical professionals. The NPI on the prescription should be valid, and you should be able to locate your provider with the information available on your prescription. Please ask the provider listed on the prescription to correct or add their NPI number. |
| Provider Name | The name on the prescription needs to be legible. If you are being assisted by multiple providers, just list one. |
| Provider's Signature | The prescription requires a signature from the healthcare provider listed on the form. |
| Signature Date | The prescription requires a valid date, including month, date, and year. |
| Baby's Due Date | The baby's due date is required on the prescription. (This is preferred for some insurance plans.) |
| HCPC (Healthcare Common Procedure Code) | The prescription form must include the HCPC for the breast pump/double electric breast pump and/or milk storage bags. Please ask your provider to include this in the prescription form. |
