Question
How much does newborn disease screening cost?
Answer
After a newborn is born, they can undergo newborn disease screening to confirm if they have any diseases. The thyroid function test and phenylketonuria screening can be done through heel prick blood tests within 3 to 5 days of birth. In some areas, these two tests are half-priced, with an approximate cost of 5,000 to 7,000 yuan. Other screenings may incur additional fees. The specific prices depend on which tests are taken, and you can consult local hospitals for more information.
