[quote=Anonymous]4 years ago I did counsyl and their website said if you have major insurance you won't have to pay more than $99. I was billed $99 on federal basic blue cross. My DH had blue cross (separate plan) through state of MD. After my test showed scary results we had to get him tested. His insurance covered 100% and he did not carry the same mutations as I did. Yay!  I know this wasn't the question, but if you're already pregnant please consider getting tested at the same time as DH. My blood work was misplaced so I got retested at 17 weeks. The results came back at 21 weeks that I had three mutations that, if inherited from both parents, would result in stillbirth or early death. My husband's bloodwork wasn't back until I was 24 weeks pregnant. It was awful waiting. I planned to terminate if our DD had the mutations, but wouldn't have done that without an amino, which would have meant a very late termination. I'm grateful everyday that we have our wonderful DD and didn't face that dilemma. [/quote]
