Does Texas Medicaid cover NIPT test??

I’m 10w1d pregnant I have my appointment on Friday I was wondering if Medicaid covers that nipt test? I heard the test also tells you the gender and I want to know as soon as possible what gender the baby is but I don’t have any money to pay out of pocket for tests so... does Texas Medicaid cover it???

My doctors office said that it was only covered for high rosk pregnancies but i emailed medicaid and they said they did

I had my NIPT at 11 weeks. Not on Medicaid, but the lab said insurances only cover if you’re a high risk pregnancy. I paid $200 for mine. (Gender was wrong btw lol)

no. unless you meet requirements and are considered for it as medically necessary they no longer cover it.

I’m not sure about Texas but I know Minnesota’s doesn’t. I had to do the Maternit21 test instead. Insurance actually ended up covering that one though. Otherwise it was going to be around $300 out of pocket.
