With Verifi, MaterniT21, etc. I know the price is often covered under insurance if you're over 35. Does anyone know if this means you have to be 35+ to have the tests at a reduced costs, or if it counts if you will be 35 when the baby is born? Just a thought that it could be a huge difference in costs when it's only a difference of a few months!

I was marked as "elderly" in my paperwork even though I was still 34 when I was pregnant. The initial paperwork asked what age I would be when the baby was born.

@lioneyes: My practice has a "deal" with Maternity21 and even when I was younger than 34, I got to get the test for just $200. But then for my second pregnancy, I was 34 turning 35 before the baby was born, so I got it for free. I would just ask your doctor. They should know.

@lioneyes: I was pregnant once at 34 and would have had the baby before I turned 35. I lost that baby to a m/c and got pregnant again at 35, delivering at 36. My ob said that the age at delivery is what determines if you are advanced maternal age. Hope that helps!

Thanks everyone! Very helpful info.

My insurance covered it at 33 with no problem. My doctor just said he writes some diagnostic bs to get them to cover it
