Does your insurance decide what tests are ordered in pregnancy?

Amniocentesis

Genetic testing in pregnancy is a contentious issue that has many sides. One thing that a reader brought up was that she felt like her doctors were fear mongering and ordering test after test, merely because she had insurance coverage.

"...me at 1/5 with blue cross insurance they want every test under the sun performed because it's a cash cow. What are you going to say, no? They make you out to be an evil mom- 'Don't you care about the health of your baby?' Awful fishy to me when treatment depends on insurance coverage." -Marge

Did you experience this in pregnancy, related to genetic testing or other pregnancy services?
