HARMONY test - in need of test in NYC

Can anyone share with me where they were able to get blood drawn for the Harmony test?  I had maternit21 done with my obgyn and thankfully came up negative but my husband is still worried and wants an amnio - I am hoping a second test confirming a hopefully negative result will calm him down without having to get invasive testing.  Anyone to help point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it!

    Hi there,
    I don't know anyone who does the test, but is that something your ob/gyn could tell you? Maybe refer you to a geneticist?
    Best of luck!!

    If you are still considering the harmony test, they offer it at Cornell, but as btimes3 said, it is essentially the same test and insurance will definitely not cover both. I opted to do the harmony and skipped the amnio because I have a history of mc....I think you need to discuss with your husband what his concerns really are. Amnio is the only way to definitively rule out any type of chromosomal/genetic anomaly but it is not without risk, and it's your body. You have to be comfortable with your choices. If you haven't already met with a genetic counselor I would get an appointment with one ASAP.
