Anyone doing or have done genetic testing??

Question

How much does this normally cost and is it really necessary for the baby?

Answer

I did it. My insurance fully covers it for all pregnant women who are 10 weeks along or further, regardless of maternal age. 
The company my OB uses, Counsyl, also offers a $249 deal for anyone who does not want to use their insurance policy.

Answer

We had Progenity test done. My doctor told us it would be $99 with or without insurance so we had it done. 5 weeks later we received our EOB and the test actually costs $7,500 and that our doctor told us the wrong information as the $99 deal was just that, a deal they ran and had stopped in January and our insurance is not going to cover it! So I would make sure you know exactly what your insurance is going to pay for and what they won’t pay for as most insurances don’t see the blood test as a necessary test to have.🙃

Answer

I got it done before my husband and I started trying to conceive. It was through Counsyl and it was $300. My results all came back negative except for something called fragile x syndrome. We didn’t bother getting my husband tested because for most of the syndromes they check for you need two markers.

Answer

I did Harmony through Ariosa. Normally $2750. Insurance covered it because I had ultrasound abnormality

Answer

My insurance paid for mine because of my age. It only picks up a few of the most common things. I liked it because we knew what we were having at 9 weeks.

Answer

I did the AFT test at 16 weeks it’s the test for down syndrome, spinal bifida and T18 and my insurance covered it.
