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).

Montana DNA Testing Requirements and Legal Information
In Montana, several resources are available to help individuals establish paternity. The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services offers assistance in establishing legal paternity, including genetic testing when necessary. Hospitals and birthing centers provide an opportunity for parents to complete a Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity (VAP) form, a voluntary way to acknowledge paternity at the time of a child's birth. Additionally, the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services can assist in locating absent parents and initiating legal action to establish paternity if needed. Establishing paternity is essential for determining parental rights and responsibilities, including child support and access to medical records. If individuals encounter difficulties or have questions about paternity, consulting with family law attorneys can also provide guidance and legal assistance.
Frequently Asked Questions About Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Testing (NIPP) in Montana
What is Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity (NIPP) Testing in Montana?
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 Montana, establishing paternity is handled through the Child Support Services Division (CSSD) and the courts, as explained on the Montana DPHHS Paternity Establishment Information page and in the state’s “Paternity Information for Parents” brochure.
How does NIPP testing work in Montana?
A certified laboratory analyzes fetal DNA from the mother’s blood and compares it to the alleged father’s DNA, usually producing a probability of paternity of 99.9% or higher for an inclusion. Montana law authorizes courts to order paternity tests and requires the mother, child, or alleged father to submit upon request under Montana Code § 40‑6‑112 – Paternity tests, and allows CSSD to compel “paternity genetic testing” in administrative proceedings under § 40‑5‑233 MCA.
Who can request prenatal paternity testing in Montana?
Paternity genetic testing may be requested by the alleged father, the mother, or the child through the child’s custodian, and can be done in connection with a child support case through CSSD, as described in § 40‑5‑233 MCA – Establishment of paternity; administrative hearing; compulsory genetic testing. Parents can also work through the court system using the Montana Courts’ Paternity forms and information and may sign a voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity at the hospital or later using the DPHHS Acknowledgment and Withdrawal of Paternity form.
Is NIPP testing court-admissible in Montana?
Yes. When NIPP is collected with full chain of custody and tested by an accredited expert, the genetic results are admissible and can create a legal presumption of paternity. Montana law states that genetic tests may create a presumption of paternity if the probability is 95% or greater, and that a certified expert report is admissible without additional foundation under Montana Code § 40‑5‑234 – Paternity genetic tests; use of expert’s affidavit.
What does NIPP testing cost in Montana?
Informational (peace-of-mind) NIPP through GameDay DNA typically starts at about $1,099 for an at‑home prenatal kit.
Legal, court-admissible NIPP with chain-of-custody usually starts around $1,499 through GameDay DNA’s legal prenatal service.
The Montana Child Support Services Division notes that genetic testing for paternity is available as part of child support services and may be provided at no cost initially, with recovery of fees from the father if paternity is confirmed, as discussed in the CSED Genetic Testing Policy CS 604.1 and Paternity Establishment Information.
Does insurance cover prenatal paternity testing in Montana?
Most health insurance plans treat prenatal paternity testing as elective and do not cover it, so families usually pay privately or use payment plans. Montana CSSD materials emphasize that paternity genetic testing through the state’s child support program is offered as part of that service (sometimes at no upfront cost), but NIPP purchased directly from a private lab is generally outside insurance and child support coverage; see Paternity Information for Parents (CSED) and Paternity Establishment Information.
Where can I get NIPP testing or an at-home kit in Montana?
Montana 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, parents typically use accredited DNA collection sites (such as clinics highlighted by GameDay DNA’s DNA testing locations) or local providers like Montana’s Medical Services’ paternity testing, often in coordination with CSSD or the courts.
How do I update a child’s birth certificate after legal paternity is established in Montana?
When parents sign an Acknowledgment of Paternity, or when a court or CSSD order establishes paternity, the father’s name can be added to or corrected on the child’s birth certificate through the Office of Vital Records. The DPHHS Acknowledgment and Withdrawal of Paternity form explains that once filed with the state registrar, it establishes paternity and leads to an amended birth certificate, and the Paternity/Non‑Paternity Vital Records brochure describes how to correct or remove a father’s information on the record. Parents can find current forms and instructions on the DPHHS Vital Records Forms page.
