Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening For Chromosome Conditions

Vermont rates for HCPCS 81420

This is a blood test done during pregnancy that analyzes small fragments of the baby's genetic material circulating in the mother's bloodstream to screen for certain chromosome conditions, such as Down syndrome. It only requires a blood draw from the mother, without any risk to the pregnancy. It's a screening test, meaning a positive result is typically followed by more definitive diagnostic testing.
