Prenatal, Reproductive & Carrier Screening

Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)

Compare non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) options by specimen, turnaround time and USD price. Screening only — all findings need diagnostic confirmation.

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.

Clinical FAQ

Collection kits ship after your booking is verified. Maternal blood (about 10 mL) is collected in the Streck tube supplied with the kit — no fasting is needed. Keep the tube at the temperature listed on the kit insert and return it with the prepaid courier. If collection looks difficult, contact us first so we can plan the right tube and volume.

Coverage varies by plan and indication. On request we provide the test name, CPT codes and a medical-necessity letter so your insurer or employer can complete pre-authorization before collection. Final coverage decisions rest with your payer.

CPT codes depend on the assay and any add-on analysis for prenatal screening; the exact code set appears on your quote and lab requisition. Ask your counselor for the codes before submission so claims are not rejected.

Genetic counseling is recommended — and required before some assays — so the limitations and possible outcomes are understood before collection. A GGC DNA counselor reviews every booking and can join your clinician consult on request.
