Self-Pay NIPS

Self-Pay NIPS

Women who do not meet criteria for funded NIPS but who are interested in NIPS have the option of self-pay NIPS. The cost to the patient varies depending on the NIPS test vendor that is used.

Health care providers should counsel patients that national and international societies recommend against screening for microdeletions due to poor sensitivity and low predictive value.
