Has anyone run into issues scheduling their NIPT/NT pregnancy scans?

I’m 11+ weeks pregnant and a patient at NYU LANGONE. There’s a scan called NIPT (+NT) that you’re supposed to get no later than 13 weeks where they check for chromosomal abnormalities and also gender.

It’s been tough for me to get this appointment (had to call multiple times because they kept saying they’re super booked) and while they finally gave me an appointment date to see my OB/GYN one week from now, they still don’t know/haven’t confirmed what time my NIPT/NT scan is.

I’ve called 4 times over the past month (most recently a few days ago), and they keep saying they’ll leave a message with whoever does NIPT but I don’t get a call back.

What would you suggest is my next step? Keep bugging them by phone? Message my OB/GYN? Just walk in? And is it normal that it’s this hard to schedule these types of tests?

This is my first baby. Thanks for any info.
