Patient's question:
My screening results for Down syndrome are not quite passing. I want to know if it's possible to get partial reimbursement for the cost of non-invasive prenatal testing if I get hospitalized during pregnancy. Can the expenses be reduced?Doctor's answer:
This should be based on local circumstances. Generally, it may not be reimbursed, and we are not included in this category. If the pregnant woman is over 35 years old, it is best to undergo non-invasive deoxyribonucleic acid testing, as the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities increases with the mother's age. It is recommended to maintain a calm mood, balance nutrition, get sufficient rest during pregnancy, and a regular diet and daily routine are beneficial for maintaining the fetus. Generally, it is advised that patients should follow these steps, as it is safer.
