Many individuals seeking paternity testing services wonder whether this type of test are covered by insurance. This post will explore the topic in detail.
Does Insurance Cover Paternity Tests?
No. Paternity tests are generally not covered by insurance. Most insurance companies do not consider DNA paternity tests as medical necessities. Consequently, they typically do not provide coverage for these types of tests.
However, as business models evolve, some insurance policies may change. We recommend reaching out to your specific insurance provider to inquire about any potential coverage for paternity testing
Does insurance cover paternity tests while pregnant?
Typically, insurance does not cover prenatal paternity tests, even when they are administered under the supervision of an OB-GYN. Prenatal paternity tests are not considered medical procedures by insurance companies, similar to standard cheek swab tests, and as a result, they are generally not eligible for coverage.
Please note that the information provided here is for informational purposes only. We recommend contacting your medical professional and insurance provider to inquire about their coverage policies. If your insurance does cover paternity testing, please be aware that IDTO does not directly accept insurance payments. Instead, you would need to pay out-of-pocket and seek reimbursement from your insurance company.
Establishing paternity can be an emotional journey for everyone involved. If your medical insurance company does not assist in this process, it could lead to the slowing down of establishing paternity process. In such cases, it may be necessary to explore alternative options, such as contacting social services in your state for support
