Does blue cross blue shield cover tb skin test?
My son needs a TB skin test for his school admission. I'm wondering if our health insurance plan will cover the cost of this test. Is it usually included?

BCBS generally covers the TB skin test, especially if it is required for your job or by a doctor. If your insurance copay is too high, you can also check local government clinics or community health centers where they often do it for free or very cheap.

Yes, BCBS covers TB skin tests under preventive services or diagnostic tests. Just make sure the clinic is in-network.

I know how stressful it is to wait for TB test results and worry about the insurance coverage at the same time. Most BCBS plans do cover it, so please take a deep breath. Focus on your health first, everything will be alright.

When I needed a TB skin test for my visa and work requirements, my BCBS plan covered it completely. I only had to pay the basic office visit copay at my regular clinic.
