3 Steps to Get Reimbursed

You do not need to use your HSA/FSA card at checkout. Purchase any way you like, then claim reimbursement.

1

Purchase — any payment method

Buy your Silver Nursing Cups on gomommyus.com using a credit card, PayPal, or Amazon Pay. For HSA/FSA reimbursement, purchase directly on our website — not through third-party marketplaces — so you receive our reimbursement-ready invoice.

2

Receive your reimbursement invoice

After payment, we email you a PDF invoice containing the "Breastfeeding Supply / Lactation Aid" category code your plan administrator needs. Check your inbox — and spam folder — within 10 minutes. If it does not arrive, email info@gomommyus.com with your order number.

3

Submit to your benefits portal

Log in to your HSA/FSA portal (WageWorks, Fidelity, Optum, HealthEquity, etc.) and upload the PDF invoice. Reimbursement is typically processed within 3 to 5 business days.

💳 Can I pay with my HSA/FSA card directly? Yes — you can enter your HSA or FSA debit card at checkout. If it is declined, simply pay with a personal card and submit our invoice. Both paths get you reimbursed.

Why Silver Nursing Cups Qualify

Not all baby products are eligible. Here is the legal and clinical basis.

📋 IRS Publication 502 — Lactation Supplies

Under IRS Publication 502, breast-related medical expenses include equipment and supplies that facilitate breastfeeding — not only breast pumps. Silver Nursing Cups qualify because:

  • They are worn specifically to support and maintain the ability to breastfeed by protecting nipple integrity between feeding sessions.
  • They directly address a documented medical need: nipple trauma, soreness, and damage that are among the leading causes of early breastfeeding discontinuation.
  • Their primary purpose is therapeutic — not cosmetic, not general wellness. They have no consumer use outside of breastfeeding support.
  • The ACA (Affordable Care Act) mandates that HSA- and FSA-eligible expenses include breastfeeding equipment and supplies beyond the pump itself.
🧾 What Our Invoice Includes
  • Product name and description
  • Category: Breastfeeding Supply / Lactation Aid
  • Purchase amount and date
  • Go Mommy LLC business information
  • Order reference number
⚠️ Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) Most plans do not require an LMN for lactation aids. If yours does, email info@gomommyus.com with your plan name and we will provide an LMN template.
🛒 Purchased on Amazon? Amazon's receipt does not include our Lactation Aid code. Purchase directly at gomommyus.com. If you already ordered on Amazon, email us your order number and we will issue a reimbursement invoice manually.
✅ Plan Coverage Disclaimer Coverage varies by plan. Our invoice provides everything your plan needs — final approval rests with your provider. When in doubt, ask: "Are breastfeeding supplies / lactation aids covered?"

HSA vs. FSA — Know the Difference

Both cover the same eligible expenses. The rules on contributions, rollovers, and flexibility differ.

HSA FSA
Plan requirement Requires High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) Available with most employer health plans
2025 contribution limit $4,300 individual / $8,550 family $3,300 per employee
Unused funds Roll over indefinitely — never lost Use-it-or-lose-it (up to $660 rollover in some plans)
Investment growth Can be invested — grows tax-free No investment option
Portability Yours permanently if you change jobs Employer-linked — may lose unused funds
Best for Long-term savings + current eligible purchases Planned expenses within the current plan year
💡 FSA Year-End Tip Set a calendar reminder for November 1st every year to check your FSA balance. Unspent funds typically expire December 31st. Last-minute buys: Silver Nursing Cups, replacement pump parts, thermometers, nasal aspirators, first aid supplies.

✅ ACA Mandate The Affordable Care Act requires most insurance plans to cover breastfeeding equipment and counseling — and extends HSA/FSA eligibility to breastfeeding supplies beyond the pump. This makes nursing cups, storage supplies, and IBCLC fees reimbursable for the vast majority of U.S. families with employer coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions we hear most often — answered directly.

Yes. You can enter your HSA or FSA debit card at checkout on our website. If the card is declined — which can happen when a payment system does not automatically recognize the eligible category — simply pay with a personal credit card and submit our reimbursement-ready invoice to your benefits portal. Both methods result in full reimbursement.

Amazon issues its own standard receipt that does not include the "Breastfeeding Supply / Lactation Aid" category code your plan administrator needs. Our reimbursement-ready invoice is only automatically generated for orders placed directly on gomommyus.com.

If you have already purchased through Amazon, email us your order number at info@gomommyus.com and we will issue a reimbursement invoice manually within one business day.

Under IRS Publication 502, breastfeeding equipment and supplies that facilitate breastfeeding qualify as medical expenses. Silver Nursing Cups meet this definition because their sole purpose is therapeutic — protecting nipple integrity between feeding sessions to maintain the ability to breastfeed. The ACA additionally mandates that HSA/FSA-eligible breastfeeding expenses extend beyond the pump itself.

We send the invoice by email within minutes of payment confirmation. Check your inbox and spam/junk folder. If you do not receive it within 10 minutes, email info@gomommyus.com with your order number.

Most plans do not require an LMN for breastfeeding supplies — our "Lactation Aid" invoice is sufficient. If your plan specifically requests one, email us at info@gomommyus.com with your plan name and we will provide an LMN template your OB, midwife, or IBCLC can sign.

Both allow you to pay for eligible healthcare expenses with pre-tax dollars. The key difference: an HSA requires enrollment in a High Deductible Health Plan and funds roll over year after year with no expiry. An FSA is available through most employer plans but unspent funds typically expire at year end (some plans allow a rollover of up to $660). See the comparison table above.

Most plan administrators process claims within 3 to 5 business days after you submit the invoice. Processing time varies — some approve same-day, others may take up to 2 weeks. If you have not received reimbursement within 10 business days, contact your plan administrator with your claim reference number.
