My recollection is that the standard set of tests run do not include that. There is a second set of tests that is not covered by insurance to determine chromosomal markers.

Well our first born had what was called a "shadow" in his heart, that was a marker for DS during our first ultrasound visit. That prompted a visit to a specialist who basically did another ultrasound and looked for visual clues (clenched fists, certain arm movements, etc.) and determined that our son did not have DS.

I'm pretty sure that was all covered through insurance
