Cell-free DNA Screening in Pregnancy

Cell-free DNA pregnancy screening options are available to pregnant women in the Calgary Zone. Kits can be ordered, by health care providers, through the providers websites. Patients will have to cover the cost of the test but may qualify for reimbursement from private health insurance if they have it. It is recommended that all patients book an appointment for their blood draw by calling Alberta Precision Labs at 403-770-5136. Women should be at least 10 weeks pregnant prior to their blood draw. 

May 22, 2020 Alberta Health Services does not endorse specific agencies or services; choice of cf-DNA kit should be based on the clinical findings and care provider judgment.
