cost of level II ultrasound with specialist?

lululu83

Is anyone willing to share the cost of their level II ultrasound with a perinatologist? I have the option of getting one based on my quad screen results, but my insurance does not cover ultrasounds so I'm wondering how much it could cost. (We will likely have an "adjustment" to the cost per the insurance company, but they will not actually cover it.)

 

Thank you!

Not sure how much that would cost but my prenatal labs came back with 1:85 chance of ds and my ob had another u/s done in the office, and then I was referred to the genetic counselor. The gc counselor told me only 50% of ds can be detected by u/s so to r/o either amniocentesis or the new test on the market called Harmony would be my option. The Harmony test is less invasive and involves only drawing your blood. Good Luck!

I just received my bill for my level 2, they billed insurance $785, but wrote off $560 of it. Not sure if that is helpful or not, good luck!

I don't know what exactly they're looking for in the follow-up, but if it's T21, T18, or T13 ditto the pp on looking into the Harmony test. There are three options - Harmony, Verify, and MaterniT21. We did MaterniT21. They might be cheaper than the ultrasound and they're actually looking at fetal DNA rather than looking for possible markers.
