mmm I am not sure what the go is here??? I have had 5 nuchal scans and all of them were done with a referral to a foetal medicine ob. Of course I had to pay up front but when I went to medicare I got 85% of the scheduled fee back. I don't remember being very much out of pocket at all. Some of those scans were done prior to being 35 and others were done after I turned 35.
Perhaps it is due to the referral process? I am not sure???
