Genetic testing can cost as little as $100 or as much as $2,000, depending on its complexity. The cost of testing increases when more than one test is required or when multiple family members must be tested. The cost of newborn screening varies from state to state. There are some states that cover part of the cost, but most charge a fee of $30 to $150 per infant. Following the collection of a sample, it may take a few days to weeks for the results to be available. The results of prenatal tests are usually available more quickly since time is an important factor when making decisions about a pregnancy. Specific information about the cost and time frame of a particular test can be obtained from the doctor or genetic counselor who orders it.
