Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)

T21 · T18 · T13 · Sex chromosome aneuploidies

Genetic results require clinical confirmation and are interpreted together with your medical and family history. A qualified healthcare provider confirms any diagnosis — our counselors help you pick the right assay before you book.

Clinical testing guide

NIPT analyses cell-free fetal DNA in maternal blood to screen for common chromosomal differences. It is a screening test: a high-probability result is confirmed with a diagnostic procedure through your obstetric team, and a low-probability result does not rule out all conditions. Counselor review is included with every booking.

Choosing between a panel and a single-marker test

Tests in this group answer different clinical questions. A focused single-marker or small-panel assay is usually the right starting point when the clinical question is specific; multi-gene or multi-marker panels fit when several conditions remain possible. First line assays are the usual entry point, reflex assays follow up on first-line findings, and confirmatory genetics settles an open question. Your genetic counselor confirms the right starting point against your history and prescription before anything is booked.

Before sample collection

  • Fasting: most genetic tests do not require fasting — follow the instructions on your kit insert.
  • Tube types: the required tube and volume are listed per test above (e.g. EDTA, sodium citrate, Streck).
  • Medication & anticoagulants: tell your counselor about anticoagulants, immunosuppressants or recent transfusions before the draw — never stop prescribed medication without your prescriber's advice.

Questions before booking

Should I start with a multi-gene panel or a single-marker test? ▾

A focused single-marker or small-panel assay is usually the right first step when the clinical question is specific; multi-gene or multi-marker panels fit when several conditions remain possible. Your genetic counselor reviews your history and prescription before booking to confirm the starting point, and reflex or confirmatory testing is only added when the clinical picture requires it.

Does insurance, Medicare, Medicaid or HSA/FSA cover this testing? ▾

Coverage depends on medical necessity and your plan. We support private insurance, Medicare and Medicaid billing, and self-pay by card or HSA/FSA. On request we provide CPT codes and a medical-necessity letter so your payer can complete pre-authorization before collection — final coverage decisions rest with your payer.

Can the sample be collected near me or at home? ▾

Yes. We arrange collection at patient service centers nationwide and, for eligible tests, at home through mobile phlebotomy. Your counselor confirms the correct tube, volume and any preparation instructions when the booking is verified.

Do I need a prescription or genetic counseling before testing? ▾

A clinician's order is required for most assays and always recommended. Pre-test genetic counselor guidance is included with every booking — we verify the indication, explain what the results can and cannot show, and coordinate reporting back to your care team.
