Bring the story together before the visit.
Come with referral letters, earlier results, scan reports, immunisation records and the names or packs of medicines already used. If you have an HMO or NHIA pathway, ask whether the consultation, tests and procedures need separate authorisation.
See the complete visit checklist →NIPT is a screening test, not a diagnosis.
It can estimate the chance of certain chromosomal conditions. A higher-chance result does not by itself confirm a condition, and a lower-chance result cannot rule out every genetic or pregnancy concern. Our team will explain what your result means and whether another assessment or diagnostic test should be discussed.
