What does a positive TB test look like?

When you take the TB skin test, a huge bump will appear on your arm at the injection site if you have had a TB infection. This hump, which may appear red and bloated, indicates that you have tuberculosis germs in your body. During your visit, your doctor or the TB test provider will measure and check the bump to see if you have TB.

Tuberculosis patients who test positive may be required to have a chest X-ray before being tested every four years. Your employer or doctor may prescribe a TB test more regularly than every four years based on specific work policies or your symptoms and health status.

How much does a TB test cost in Metuchen?

A tuberculosis test's cost is determined by a number of factors, including the test's kind, provider rates, geographic location, and whether or not the test is covered by your health insurance plan.

Some companies may reimburse the cost of tuberculosis testing if it is required at work. Contact your health insurance provider directly to learn more about your TB test benefits and coverage.

How often do you need a TB test in Metuchen?

Employers often screen employees who are required to get tested for tuberculosis every four years. If you spend time with someone who has tuberculosis or have traveled to a region where tuberculosis is common and prevalent, such as Africa or Russia, your doctor may prescribe that you get a TB test on a regular basis. Ask your employer or doctor how often you should get a TB test based on these factors.

The check-in was very fast and easy. It was no people there. I went to the other urgent care that’s across the street and the other lady told me that it’ll be a hour to wait. I was like let me go next-door to see if they accept me and they did and I grateful for that. It’s nice easy to figure out what I had and that’s it was quick and fast

My mother and I walked in and immediately checked in the kiosk. We were called rather quickly. The doctor listened to me, I knew I needed antibiotics and other meds. Only part that was disappointing was the pharmacy confusion. Sent to wrong pharmacy, waiting, went home without meds. Someone else had to bring it to me. Need better communication.
