How soon can you have a blood test for the gender done?

Question

Also does anyone know if insurance typically covers it?

Answer

Insurance usually doesn’t cover it unless you are 35 or older. Typically it’ll cost about $150-$200 to get the blood test done... depending on where you live I guess.

Answer

Our OB said 10 weeks is the earliest they can draw for it

Answer

My ob said 10 weeks. My insurance covered it completely with my son and I was only 21.. not high risk at all when I had the testing done.

Answer

Call your insurance company, for sure! I ended up with an $8k bill for my gender test back in 2016. I was PISSED because my OB said it was covered. Of course I absolutely should have checked myself. It ended up being sort of a hoax & through MANY phone calls they admitted they would "allow" me to pay them $100 for the bill. But if I hadn't made so many calls to figure out why the hell I had an $8,000 bill for a damn blood test, they would have sent it to collectors.. Sorry, I'm still mad about it. It was done through Natera btw. But just to be safe, always call your insurance company before hand to check. 👍

Answer

My insurance covered gender testing but they also tested for genetic abnormalities and the gender was in the results of that. I tested around 10 weeks. They will not let you do it before 9 weeks.

Answer

I couldn’t wait. I paid for a 4D ultrasound to find out the gender I was 15 weeks with my son

Answer

I did Sneak Peek at 9 weeks. It was $80 and not covered.

Answer

My insurance covered it completely and the dr also tested for any genetic issues so it was a 2 in 1

Answer

I wasn’t offered it since I’m not high risk or over 35. Sneak peak clinical is $200 so we’re waiting.

Answer

No, insurance doesn’t cover it. Why not just wait until your 20-week ultrasound?
