How to choose a plan
-
There are several NIPT tests available,
but which one should I choose… The Minimum Plan seems to be more affordable for the cost of the test, but what do you think? -
I know you are probably anxious about the NIPT test because it is not a test that is taken often.
The Minimum Plan is an affordable plan that can test for Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21) as well as Trisomy 18 and 13.
