Compared with Medicare

Researchers often measure hospital prices as a multiple of Medicare's rate, and it is a concrete number to mention when you ask a hospital for a cash discount. Source: CMS.
What it is
NIPT analyzes fragments of fetal DNA that circulate in the mother's blood to screen for Down syndrome (trisomy 21) and trisomies 18 and 13. It can be done from about 10 weeks of pregnancy. It is a screening test, so a positive result needs a diagnostic test to confirm.
What the price covers
The price usually covers the DNA analysis of one blood sample. The blood draw, genetic counseling and any added screens, such as sex chromosomes or microdeletions, may be billed separately.
Why prices differ
Many hospitals send this test to outside specialty labs, whose own self-pay prices can differ greatly from the hospital's listed charge.
What to ask
Ask whether the self-pay price for CPT 81420 includes the blood draw and any added screens beyond trisomies 21, 18 and 13.

Common questions
Is NIPT a diagnosis?
No. It estimates the chance of a condition; a positive result needs a diagnostic test such as CVS or amniocentesis to confirm.
Can NIPT tell the baby's sex?
Many NIPT panels can report it if requested, but whether that is included depends on the lab and the order.
How much does Medicare pay for CPT 81420 (NIPT prenatal DNA test)?
$759.05 is Medicare's 2026 national lab fee schedule rate for this test; Medicare patients owe no share of it. The median hospital cash price, $950.75 across 703 hospitals, is 1.3× that.
Other pregnancy and birth prices
Median hospital cash price, one per hospital.
