Paternity Testing: Self-Referral Private Sector

In the United States individuals may utilize the services of private companies to perform paternity testing. The reasons for self-referral testing involves a myriad of circumstances. With the exception of the State of New York, no court order or physician is necessary to utilize private sector paternity testing services. The costs vary, but generally a test fee of $475 plus a collection fee of $70 is required for testing one child and one alleged father, with or without the testing of the mother.

The individual circumstances of the child at issue may involve additional expenses. Some examples are where the father is deceased and there is a necessity to test the parents of the deceased father. The fee can range between $675 and $800. For expedited service an additional assessment of $500 is charged. The standard time period for non-expedited testing is three working days.

Prenatal testing is available at a set fee of $475. This fee is designed to confirm or rule out the alleged father of the fetus. This test requires willing samples of both the mother and the alleged father and a sample of the fetus. A Chorionic Villi sampling of the placenta can be taken by a physician between the 10th and 13th week of pregnancy. This sampling poses no threat to the fetus because it merely takes a sample from the membrane surrounding the developing fetus.
