I was wondering do anyone know about the 2 step TB skin test? Where do we get it? what does it costs? Do we pay for it twice?

Hello classmate not too sure about the test but I would assume that if you do the test once it is to be read that you should only have to pay once.. maybe medcenter could do that??

Okay so I went to medcenter yesterday and got my titers checked and my TB test and just paid a $30 copay. Not sure if that is because I have insurance or if they're just going to charge me when I go to get it checked tomorrow but I can let you know! I have had tons of TB tests in FL and never got charged though.

Think you are confusing the point a little.. when you pay for a TB skin test the cost does include getting it read 48-72 hours after administration.

Since your school requires a 2 step TB skin test.. then you will be required to get a 2nd test 1-2 weeks after getting your 1st results read.. and yes there will be a charge for this test as well at that time.

if you have already had a TB test within the last few years do you still need to get one?

OK thanks 203bravo for clearing that up

You will be required to get a TB skin test every year.
