Abstract
Financial considerations may impact the pregnancy decisions of expectant parents who receive a positive prenatal screening test result for Down syndrome (DS). This study estimates the out-of-pocket health care costs for parents associated with raising a child with DS between birth and 18 years of age, using private U.S. health insurance data.
