Down syndrome test

I have decided to go for NIPT and told doc about it. But I'm surprised that she insisted on Oscar + preeclampsia, or oscar + preeclampsia + nipt. Why can't I just do NIPT alone? when It seems like alot mother out there did the same. What should I do? Should I insist? Change a doc or? Sigh.

I did NIPT straight as my doc suggested it. The accuracy is 99% and the results show all low risk and don't need to do any other test. You will get to know the baby's gender too!

I requested for nipt only and Dr doesn't seems pleased with my option. her reason was nipt only check down syndrome and not others. it seems like she would rather I do Oscar + preeclampsia, or all 3 Oscar + preeclampsia + nipt. which I don't knw why
