Patient's question:
Screening for Down Syndrome, how much does it cost? I heard that some pregnant women's children have issues now, and there are also some Down syndrome babies. I'm 40 this year, expecting my second child, and my health isn't as good as it used to be. I always worry about the child having problems. I remembered that during the month, I should get a Down Syndrome screening.Doctor's answer:
For Down syndrome screening, the price is generally around hundreds of yuan. However, if you are in the age group of 18 to 40 and have a high-risk pregnancy, most of the time, the results of Down syndrome screening at this age stage will show high risk again. Therefore, it is generally still recommended to undergo non-invasive DNA testing or amniocentesis for a more thorough examination. Such examinations usually cost around thousands of yuan. The price for non-invasive DNA testing is slightly lower, but it still requires at least 1,000 to 2,000 yuan.
