Natera
The test is called NIPT(non-invasive prenatal testing). Fetal DNA is obtained from the mom's blood and it can screen the pregnancy for Down Syndrome, Trisomy 18, Trisomy 13 and Turner Syndrome. It is the best screening exam available for now.
I do offer it to my patients but I do NOT get any kickbacks or anything from them. It can be done as early as 9 weeks. I do agree unfortunately between insurance companies and hospitals they are killing the healthcare system. Hope this helps....
