NIPT testing with twins?

I'm wondering if anyone else had the NIPT test while pregnant with twins? I had it during my last pregnancy with my daughter, but I heard it's not accurate with twins. Where it costs so much I wanted to see if anyone else had it and if it was accurate for them. Has anyone experienced this?
