Screening
Oakland County Health Division (OCHD) offers two types of TB screenings: TB Skin Tests and TB Blood Tests. A Public Health Nurse will determine which type of screening is recommended for each client.
TB Skin Test: $8.00*
A TB Skin Test requires two visits - administration of the test and a return visit 48-72 hours later to interpret the results. TB Skin Tests are done on the following days:
- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday: 8:30am - 5:00pm
- Thursday: No Testing
TB Blood Test: $56.00*
OCHD utilizes the T-Spot TB Blood Test (also called an Interferon Gamma Release Assay, IGRA). T-Spot testing is for Oakland County residents only and eligibility requirements apply. Payment is due at the time of services. OCHD will supply clients with a receipt to submit to insurance as many may cover the costs of this test. TB Blood Tests are done on the following days:
- Monday - Friday: By appointment. Please call 248-424-7042
*A $5 clinic visit fee is charged in addition to the service fee.
