Some days I hate living in a small town.
My doctor gave me a prescription for a breast pump since my insurance will cover it. But I have to get it from a medical supply company that takes my insurance. Since we only have one medical supply company in town, I figured that's where I'd go. So I called to see if they're open on Saturdays since I now work 8-4:30 with a 45 minute commute. The lady says no, and they close at 5.
What!?! It's not like they're a doctors office. They're a freaking retail operation! WTH!?!
So I left work early today so that I could get there before 5. But because of the blizzard we got and the unplowed roads, it took me over an hour to get to my town. I showed up exactly at 5:00 and they were already closed. 
I know I have tons of time to do this, but I was worried about my prescription expiring and having to get a new one. Plus, since I technically do have to pay for it (the money goes towards my deductible), DH wants to get it earlier.
So now I have to leave even earlier on Tues when I have to go to the lab to get my blood drawn, so that I can go there too. I'm not a happy camper.

No, I wonder if they can? Don't I have to give them my prescription?

I'm sure you can fax it over..or have your Dr do so. Worth a shot to ask.
Give them a sob story (you are so pregnant, not feeling well, etc). It's worth a try!
Hmm, that is worth a try. Do you think they'll have a selection? I kind of want a Medela after Melissa's post the other day.

Does the store have a website so you can view what your options are?
Is it bad that I haven't even gotten my pump yet??
I'm planning on going to the shop at the hospital (I'm in the same boat as you, has to be from a medical store for my prescription to be covered).
A website? Lol, that is hilarious! Unfortunately small town also equals stuck in the 1980's. The only companies around here that have websites are the nationwide chains, and this place is affiliated with our local hospital. Actually, they do have a page on the hospital's website but it's a very general overview of products and their phone number.
