Married Team Waiver
The PWGA Health Plan is regulated by federal laws and even the Summary Plan Description (SPD) which describes the Health Plan benefits in relatively simple terms runs to over 240 pages. Sometimes, it can be hard for a Participant to discern how to best maximize the benefits available. One of the circumstances where the best way to take advantage of benefits may not be immediately obvious is in the area of married teams trying to qualify for health coverage.

Prior to the enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Health Plan classified breast pumps as an item that would not be covered under the Durable Medical Equipment (DME) provisions because they were not “essential” equipment. However, the Health Plan now provides robust coverage for breast pumps.
