dna/paternity testing?

When you have this done in the hospital the day the baby is born does it cost? If so, is it covered by insurance or will you be billed? How much is it?

yeah, I think it depends on your insurance.. most consider dna testing an "elective" procedure considering it's not necessary, BUT again.. your insurance may be different. just give them a call & find out, good luck!

On not sure so I'm not going to be much help. But I'm sure you can call the hospital and ask them and they'll be able to tell you. Or you could call your insurance.
