Unequal Uptake: Insurance‐Related Disparities in Prenatal Genetic Counseling and Screening at a Quaternary Medical Center
This analysis contributes to the understanding of how insurance mechanisms within the United States can contribute to the uptake of prenatal genetic counseling and screening. However, there is a complex interplay between payer status and other patient-level characteristics such as age, language, and timing of initiation of prenatal care. Future studies that assess both system-level and patient-level characteristics are crucial.
