There is AFP testing offered to women under 35, and over 35. At least that's what the booklet refers to. I'm not sure if there is a different type of AFP testing for women over 35. My booklet says, "There is a different booklet for women 35 years and older. These woman should ask their doctor or clinic for the green booklet called: 'Choices in Prenatal Testing for Women 35 Years and Older' "
But I'm pretty sure it's offered to everyone. I'm 24 years old and it's been offered to me. It's a choice whether or not to take the testing. It's not a must.
My doctor informed me that the testing would be $162, insurance does not cover this testing.
