I'm glad I called. No one even mentioned the cash rate. I would have opted to just pay at the get-go. I feel badly for people who aren't aware, get a bill, and just pay it thinking they have to </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nipt-pricing#post-2750443 Wed, 21 Jun 2017 15:34:19 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2750443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: That's bs! I hope you get it reduced! </p> <p>I'm not sure what I'm paying. I just had blood drawn for it on the 8th and the results are in but I haven't been billed yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nipt-pricing#post-2750436 Wed, 21 Jun 2017 15:21:54 +0000 Littlebit7 2750436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is timely<br /> I just got my eob back for the Natera nipt test. It was "covered" since I am AMA. They billed $8000, my insurance covered 92%, so I'm left with $650 and change. We have a hdhp. So I called my doc. They referred me to billing who referred me to a natera rep who called me back right away. I explained the sitch and she basically said, yep with hdhp that's how it is. "But we do offer a cash rate for people whose insurers don't cover it". But she was like well you'll surely meet your deductible with this, right?" Nope. Sure won't. So then I was like "so basically if we hadn't billed insurance at all I'd be paying $200???"</p> <p>Long story short, Im going to call her when I get an actual bill from natera. It won't go towards my deductibe, i can use my HSA, and it will only be $200<br /> So crazy</p> <p>Conversely, in 2014 with my first with oxford, I wasn't AMA and paid nothing for the Harmony test. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nipt-pricing#post-2749902 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 18:49:24 +0000 lilteacherbee 2749902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first two, I did MateniT21 and we were billed for the full amount, but only had to pay $200. With my third, my office switched to Verifi. I was told that the max amount would be $100, but I haven't received a bill (test was done last October). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nipt-pricing#post-2749828 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 15:30:27 +0000 skinnycow 2749828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also did Progeniti and I think the max out of pocket was $100 or $200. Our insurance company told me that they wouldn't cover the test but I was never billed for anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nipt-pricing#post-2749808 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 15:00:37 +0000 kes18 2749808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's funny I had one done just over a year ago, their special was $100 but they never billed me for it either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nipt-pricing#post-2749791 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 14:17:34 +0000 Anya 2749791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did the counsyl NIPT and was told (by the MFM) it would be $200 OOP once insurance rejected the claim, but in the end they didn't charge us anything. They billed insurance $750, insurance paid $0, then counsyl gave us an "adjustment" of -$750. I never asked for payment assistance or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nipt-pricing#post-2749778 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 13:59:59 +0000 peachykeen 2749778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did the Harmony test (the one test our practice contracts with) and had ~$150 out of pocket deal. HOWEVER, my OB did tell me that several of the NIPT companies are seeking insurance approval for non-high risk pregnancies and are discontinuing these deals, so I would definitely get confirmation of the coverage before agreeing to the test. We got in just under the wire with the Harmony - I think the deal was expected to expire the month after we did our test (in January). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nipt-pricing#post-2749777 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 13:57:26 +0000 nanilani 2749777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nipt-pricing#post-2749776 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 13:56:21 +0000 LBee 2749776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>VisibiliT, $120 cap that went towards your deductible.</p> <p>ETA: This was a deal my doctor had negotiated for her patients. She told me it highly varies between practices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nipt-pricing#post-2749774 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 13:54:45 +0000 bubblegum 2749774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bees_knees: I did Panorama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nipt-pricing#post-2749770 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 13:51:05 +0000 bees_knees 2749770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bubblegum: I totally agree! Which test did you do? (Harmony, MaterniT21, etc?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nipt-pricing#post-2749768 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 13:49:43 +0000 bubblegum 2749768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was $200! Totally worth it IMO </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nipt-pricing#post-2749758 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 13:35:53 +0000 bees_knees 2749758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did Verifi with our last pregnancy and would like to do NIPT with this pregnancy as well...Verifi (I think they changed the name now?) had an out of pocket max of $150 if insurance didn't cover (which mine won't, since I'm not 35 or high risk). They never actually sent me any bill, though. Anyways. </p> <p>Crowd sourcing to see what testing anyone else did, and what the out of pocket guarantee (if any) was? Thanks! </p>
