CPT code for amniocentesis is 59000.
Amniocentesis is a medical test of the fluid around the embryo. The doctor performed amniocentesis to make certain the baby would be normal.
Chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis and bone marrow procedures are done under a physician's supervision. The person is asked to rest after the procedure and is watched for weakness and signs of bleeding.
While it is possible it's not highly recommended. Amniocentesis is a very risky procedure and should only be done if the benefit far out weighs the risk to the baby and to the mother.
Amniocentesis has never been compulsory in the US

I've always heard that you should not get an amniocentesis in this case. There is a chance it could damage the baby. I've had 3 children and I wouldn't do it unless there was a history of something serious.
Amniocentesis can be done no earlier than the fourteenth week of pregnancy. Sufficient amniotic fluid has to be present to do an amniocentesis. Amnios can be done well after 15 weeks but you shouldn't have one before then.
The Amniocentesis needle is usually around 7.4cm long and 0.8mm wide
