Is An NT Scan Necessary During Early Pregnancy?

My Wife is 27 years old. She is 10 weeks pregnant. Her doctor has ordered to do a NT scan. Is it really required to do a NT scan since she is less than 30 years old? Moreover we visited the doctor twice and the doctor did not check her BP. Is it a concern? should we change the doctor?
