I need to get a TB skin test done for my college application requirement. I have BCBS insurance, and I'm wondering if this routine test is usually covered by them. Has anyone had a TB skin test covered by BCBS before?

At this point, my insurance card is like a lottery ticket—sometimes it wins, sometimes it doesn't! Usually, basic preventive tests like the TB skin test are covered by BCBS, especially if it's for job requirements. Just call them and ask before you get pricked.

When I needed a TB skin test for my university admission abroad, my BCBS plan covered it completely as preventive care. I only had to pay a minor copay at the clinic. That was my experience with it.

I was researching this because my friend needs one for her new job. It seems under the Affordable Care Act, most BCBS plans cover TB screening for high-risk individuals or as routine preventive care without charging extra.

While checking the insurance coverage, make sure you get the test done by a qualified professional. I had a bad reaction and swelling during a routine skin injection once because it wasn't administered properly. Always seek care at a reputable clinic.

Yeah, they cover it. I got my PPD skin test done last year for my hospital volunteering gig and didn't have to pay anything out of pocket. Just make sure you go to an in-network lab or doctor.
