Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity DNA Testing – Frequently Asked Questions (NIPP FAQs)
-
A non-invasive prenatal paternity test (NIPP) determines if a man is the biological father of a baby before birth. The test uses a blood sample from the mother and a cheek swab from the alleged father; no risk to mother or baby, since no direct fetal contact is required.
-
Most NIPP tests can be performed as early as 7–9 weeks into pregnancy. Costs typically begin at $1,099, with additional fees for multiple alleged fathers or expedited results. Prices vary by provider and location
-
Yes, non-invasive testing is completely safe. It only requires routine blood and cheek swab samples—no needles near the fetus, and no increased risk of miscarriage compared to procedures like amniocentesis.
-
Both parents’ consent is required for ethical and legal reasons. Accredited labs require identification and signed forms from both the mother and alleged father before samples are collected. Secret testing is optional.
-
Labs offer flexible payment plans for NIPP testing. Patients can pay by credit card, debit card, and sometimes via financing programs. Always review payment options during booking.
-
Results are ready as fast as 3–5 business days after samples arrive at the lab. Expedited service may be available for an added fee.
-
NIPP cannot be reliably done with twins due to the inability to separate both fetuses’ DNA markers. The test also doesn’t work for surrogacy, or IVF.

Legal DNA Testing: Court-Admissible Paternity & Family Relationship Tests – FAQs
