MaterniT21 FYI

Just an FYI for anyone who was wondering. Talked to the lab who does the MaterniT21 test. If you have one of the indicators (age, history of a child with a chromosomal disorder, an abnormal ultrasound) the most the test will cost is $200. She said insurance usually covers some or all if it since these findings show medical necessity. After my research, this seems to confirm what I read that the materniT21 test is usually preferred because the cost is minimal compared to other tests out there. I will go for my blood draw in the morning hopefully after I talk to my doctor to get the script. Makes me feel better to know I won't have to dish out a bunch of money. Now I just wait and pray.

    Fingers crossed for you that it turns out to be nothing. I'm sorry you're having to worry about this.

    My insurance paid around 1000 but it considered out of network so the lab sent me a bill for 1800- I called and they said I will only have to pay 200, but I feel like they get this amount from everyone even if your insurance pays!

    Ya I saw $200 in a few places when I was researching. It will be the best $200 we ever spent.
