How Does Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity (NIPP) DNA Work? The Science Explained
During pregnancy, fetal DNA circulates in the mother’s blood.
With NIPP, a safe maternal blood sample is collected and compared to the alleged father’s cheek swab.
Advanced genetic analysis provides clear answers without invasive procedures.
Testing as early as 7 weeks into pregnancy—no need to wait!
Why is NIPP safer than traditional methods?
NIPP avoids extracting amniotic fluid or tissue—no risk of miscarriage, no jeopardy to mother or baby (NIPP safety explained).

Indiana DNA Testing Requirements and Legal Information
In Indiana, several resources are available for individuals looking to establish paternity. The Indiana State Department of Health provides the Paternity Affidavit Program, allowing parents to voluntarily acknowledge paternity at the hospital when a child is born. This simple and convenient process helps establish legal fatherhood. If paternity needs to be determined through legal means, the Indiana Child Support Bureau can assist with paternity testing and court orders. Legal aid organizations and family law attorneys can also offer guidance and representation in paternity cases, ensuring that the rights and responsibilities of both parents are recognized and upheld in the best interest of the child. These resources aim to promote the well-being of children by establishing legal paternity and facilitating appropriate child support arrangements.
Frequently Asked Questions About Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Testing (NIPP) in Indiana
What is Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity (NIPP) Testing in Indiana?
Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity (NIPP) testing is a safe DNA test that uses a blood sample from the pregnant mother and a cheek swab from the alleged father to determine biological paternity with no risk to the baby or mother. In Indiana, legal paternity can be established by marriage, a paternity affidavit, or a court order under Indiana Code article 31‑14, with the Department of Child Services (DCS) and county Title IV‑D prosecutors heavily involved in paternity and support cases, as summarized on the DCS Child Support Paternity page.
How does NIPP testing work in Indiana?
A certified laboratory analyzes fetal DNA from the mother’s blood and compares it to the alleged father’s DNA, typically producing a 99.9%+ probability of paternity for an inclusion. Indiana law provides that, on motion of any party, the court shall order all parties in a paternity action to undergo blood or genetic testing and that a qualified expert approved by the court must perform the tests under Indiana Code § 31‑14‑6‑1 – Blood or Genetic Testing.
Who can request prenatal paternity testing in Indiana?
Either parent or the county child support office may request DNA testing in a paternity case; DCS explains that at a paternity hearing the parties may agree to paternity, request genetic testing, or have the court decide based on evidence, and that “either parent or the county child support office may request genetic testing” on its Child Support Paternity page. Outside of court, the DCS Child Welfare division can facilitate genetic testing to establish paternity in child welfare cases where paternity is not yet established, contracting with a vendor under its policy “Section 5: Genetic Testing for Alleged Fathers”.
Is NIPP testing court-admissible in Indiana?
Yes. When NIPP is collected with full chain-of-custody and processed by an AABB‑accredited lab, its genetic results can be admitted as evidence in Indiana paternity cases. Indiana law recognizes a presumption of paternity if a properly conducted genetic test shows at least a 99% probability that a man is the child’s biological father, as summarized in the SSA’s Indiana paternity policy, and courts routinely rely on DNA testing ordered under IC 31‑14‑6‑1 or administratively by the Title IV‑D bureau under IC 31‑25‑4‑18.
What does NIPP testing cost in Indiana?
Informational (peace‑of‑mind) NIPP through GameDay DNA usually starts at about $1,099 for an at‑home prenatal kit.
Legal, court‑admissible NIPP with full chain-of-custody typically starts around $1,499 through GameDay DNA’s legal prenatal service.
Indiana Title IV‑D child support offices often provide standard cheek‑swab DNA testing at no charge to the parties when paternity has not yet been established, as explained by county IV‑D programs such as Tippecanoe County’s statement that “there is no fee to obtain a DNA test through our office,” and by DCS’s policy that it will facilitate genetic testing for alleged fathers in appropriate cases.
How quickly are NIPP results available in Indiana?
Most NIPP tests provide results in about 3–5 business days after the lab receives all samples, and some services offer expedited processing for urgent timelines. GameDay DNA outlines standard and rush turnaround on its non‑invasive prenatal paternity testing page.
Does insurance cover prenatal paternity testing in Indiana?
Most health insurance plans treat prenatal paternity testing as elective and do not cover it, so families usually pay privately or use payment plans. Indiana’s Title IV‑D child support program can cover standard DNA testing in support cases, but privately ordered NIPP is generally outside insurance or IV‑D coverage; Indiana Legal Services notes that parents who ask for DNA testing in court may be ordered to pay some or all of the testing costs in their Paternity information.
Where can I get NIPP testing or an at-home kit in Indiana?
Indiana families can order an at‑home NIPP kit for informational use from GameDay DNA’s prenatal peace‑of‑mind kit. For legal, court‑admissible testing, they typically work with accredited DNA collection sites and local Title IV‑D child support offices or family courts; Indiana DCS and county IV‑D programs (such as the Huntington Child Support Division) explain that they can help establish paternity “by doing genetic testing” when the parents were not married at the child’s birth.
How do I update a child’s birth certificate after legal paternity is established in Indiana?
When paternity is established by a paternity affidavit, the Indiana Department of Health adds the father’s name to the child’s birth certificate; affidavits of paternity may be completed at the hospital within 72 hours of birth or later at the local health department any time before the child is emancipated, as described by county health departments such as Allen County’s Affidavits of Paternity page and DeKalb County’s Affidavits page. When a court establishes paternity or orders a name change, parents (or their attorneys) submit a certified court order to the Indiana Department of Health Vital Records using the state’s form to change the birth record (for example, the “certified court order to change birth record to establish paternity or …” template), which directs that “the Father shall also be added to the Certificate of Live Birth.”
