Does Medicare cover prenatal paternity testing?

Medicare does not cover prenatal paternity testing because it is not a medically necessary procedure.

According to HealthCare.gov, medically necessary refers to:

Health care services or supplies needed to diagnose or treat an illness, injury, condition, disease, or its symptoms and that meet accepted standards of medicine.

In other words, Medicare only helps pay for what is absolutely needed to help treat an injury, illness, or other medical condition.

Prenatal paternity testing is performed when there is a query surrounding an unborn baby’s paternity. This non-invasive test is 100% safe and risk-free for mom and baby and can be performed from as early as 7 weeks into pregnancy.

The test costs $675 for results in just 5 business days. We also offer several flexible finance options to help you spread the cost of your test, including:

PayPal Credit (up to 6 months interest-free credit)
Splitit (pay in 9 interest-free instalments)

Quick, accurate and confidential

Prenatal paternity testing works by analyzing and comparing the DNA of the potential father(s) with the DNA of the unborn baby to identify matching DNA markers.

All that’s required for a prenatal paternity test is a cheek swab and a blood sample from mom, and a cheek swab from the potential father(s). This makes the test 100% safe and completely non-invasive for mom and baby.

Our DNA scientists extract the baby’s DNA from fetal DNA found in mom’s bloodstream from around 7 weeks into pregnancy. This DNA can then be compared with the potential father(s) DNA profile to identify matching DNA markers and establish paternity.
