Anyone know of a doctor in New York who can refer and fill out the forms for the Harmony prenatal bloodtest?
I don't have a doctor here and am uninsured. Will do most of my prenatal care in Europe where I am from but this test can not be done there.
Looking for a doctor that doesn't need me to be their patient through the whole pregnancy but that I can just pay for one short visit to do this test. Any tips would be very appreciated.

Over-40 parents...what we lack in vigor, we make up for with cunning.
I have already talked to the company behind Harmony and although they were very helpful and took a lot of time with me they couldn't recommend anyone. I will try to post on the NYC board as well. There just seems to be more traffic here on the general board and I have seen that some are from NY or New Jersey so thought someone might have a recommendation...

Just wanted to get back and post about my success in case someone else finds this thread and is wondering.
I got an appointment with:
Dr. Kenneth Lescale Maternal Fetal Medicine, 523East 72nd St, NYC
It seemed like a very easy thing. They don't ask me to be their patient for any other prenatal care and they will do everything in one appointment - genetic counseling, sonogram and blood test for Harmony, Verifi or Maternit21. The only cost I will have on top of the actual test is around $360 (instead of around $1000 at others I have tried).
Hi, I'm in NYC area. What is the Harmony test?
Thanks...
