@psw27: Your best bet is to call your insurance. Pricing will vary depending on carrier.

I think it was ~$1500 when we had it done and I was really pissed off about it. It was an out of network lab and all our other testing was in-network. I ended up contesting it since I had no idea how expensive it was going to be when I agreed to it and no clue the lab was out of network. Luckily the insurance company agreed with me.

Check with whoever you can, for sure. FWIW, we declined all tests like that. Our risks are low, and the outcome wouldn't change our decision to not terminate any pregnancy. We feel comfortable waiting until 20 week anatomy scans.

@psw27: Talk with the doctor's office. Just like @ShootingStar: it was out-of-network, and for us, nearly $3000. I was MIGHTY pissed because I refused the testing and they tested me anyway. It turns out that the office had an agreement with the lab and I ended up being charged $25. That didn't stop me from being outraged, though...

I didn't have the testing done with my first baby, but when they tested him for it in the hospital, he was a carrier. I got tested and was not a carrier, so my husband must be the culprit but it was much cheaper for me to test.

You should be able to find out from your doctor's office how much the tests costs pre-insurance, and use that to figure out how much it will cost with insurance.

We didn't do it (or any genetic testing at all, including the NT scan). We had no family history of any genetic issues on either side and we wouldn't terminate in the event of an issue anyways, so we figured we'd skip it and save ourselves the worry.
