What is Prenatal Paternity Testing?

Prenatal paternity testing is a DNA test that helps determine whether an alleged father is the biological father of an unborn child.

At IDTO DNA, we currently offer an invasive prenatal testing option, which involves either amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS). These procedures are performed by the mother’s OBGYN.

It’s important to understand that both amniocentesis and CVS carry certain medical risks. Because of this, these procedures are performed only at the discretion of the OBGYN. Prenatal DNA testing using these methods is typically done along with one of these medical procedures.

At this time we does not offer Non-invasive prenatal paternity testing. Our partner does not offer this testing option currently. The service is being considered as an option in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can invasive prenatal DNA Testing results be used for legal purposes?

Yes. All legal DNA tests require the establishment of a chain of custody. Samples are collected by an authorized sample collector, and all specimens are tested and analyzed by our partner Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies (AABB) accredited laboratory.

Does medical insurance cover invasive paternity testing?

No. DNA paternity testing is not considered a medical service; therefore, it is not covered by insurance.


Although paternity testing itself is not covered by health or medical insurance, many insurance companies do cover the cost of amniocentesis or CVS when performed for medical reasons. When your healthcare provider has already recommended amniocentesis or CVS for diagnostic purposes—for example, due to advanced maternal age or abnormal prenatal screening results—your insurance plan may cover the medical procedure costs even if paternity testing is added to the same procedure.
