Need TB testing for work, school, or healthcare requirements? QuickVisit Urgent Care makes tuberculosis screening accessible and affordable across rural Iowa communities. Since 2021, our six convenient locations offer professional TB skin tests with transparent $159 self-pay pricing (all-inclusive for in-house services) and most insurance plans accepted.
Don’t drive hours to the city for required testing. Get your TB test close to home with results you can trust from Iowa’s leading rural healthcare provider offering more than just urgent care.
TB testing, also known as tuberculosis screening, detects whether you’ve been exposed to tuberculosis bacteria. The most common method is the TB skin test, also called a tuberculin skin test (TST) or PPD test, which involves a small injection under the skin of your forearm.
This simple test helps protect public health by identifying potential tuberculosis exposure before symptoms develop. TB testing is required for many employment situations, especially in healthcare, education, and food service industries where employee health directly impacts others.
At QuickVisit, we’re more than just urgent care – we’re your comprehensive healthcare provider offering primary care, urgent care, occupational health, behavioral health, and weight management services. Our qualified healthcare providers perform TB testing as part of our full-service occupational medicine program with the same compassionate, professional care you’d expect from your hometown healthcare team.
Healthcare Workers including nurses, doctors, medical assistants, and support staff working in hospitals, nursing homes, or home health services typically require annual TB testing to maintain employment compliance.
Educational Staff such as teachers, administrators, cafeteria workers, and substitutes often need TB testing for school district employment. Many Iowa school systems require testing before the start of each academic year.
Childcare Providers working in daycare centers, preschools, or family childcare homes must demonstrate they’re free from tuberculosis to protect young children in their care.
Food Service Workers in restaurants, hospitals, schools, and care facilities may need TB testing to meet local health department requirements and ensure food safety.
Long-term Care Workers including staff at nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and rehabilitation centers require regular TB screening due to the vulnerable populations they serve.
Don’t wait until the last minute to meet your employer’s requirements. Schedule your TB test today by contacting us or visit any of our six Iowa locations.
Step 1: Schedule Your Visit
Contact us to schedule your TB test appointment or take advantage of walk-in availability at any of our six Iowa locations. Our flexible scheduling accommodates your work schedule and urgent compliance needs.
Step 2: Quick Injection Process
Your healthcare provider will clean a small area on your forearm and inject a tiny amount of tuberculin protein under your skin. The injection takes just seconds and causes minimal discomfort – most patients describe it as less painful than a typical vaccination.
Step 3: Return for Reading
This is critical: You must return within 48-72 hours for your healthcare provider to read and measure any reaction. This timing window cannot be extended, so mark your calendar immediately after your injection.
Step 4: Receive Your Results
Our team will measure any reaction, document your results, and provide you with official documentation the same day. Most employers accept our TB test results immediately for compliance purposes.
Some employers or healthcare facilities require two-step TB testing, especially for initial employment or after extended time away from testing. This involves:
Our team will coordinate both tests and ensure proper timing to meet your specific requirements. Contact us to discuss your two-step testing needs.
