Quantiferon workflow
Employers should confirm whether the packet requires Quantiferon, PPD, or another TB screening route.
- Employer form review
- Lab routing
- Result-status tracking

Employee TB screening uses risk assessment, symptom review and an appropriate blood or skin test when indicated. The clinical team reviews earlier results and the employer’s requirement before selecting the next step.
Employee TB screening uses risk assessment, symptom review and an appropriate blood or skin test when indicated. The clinical team reviews earlier results and the employer’s requirement before selecting the next step.
Bring prior TB results, treatment records and the written requirement. A skin test needs a trained reading 48–72 hours after placement; an IGRA blood test uses a laboratory sample and does not need that skin-test reading visit.
For US healthcare personnel, CDC does not recommend routine annual TB testing after baseline without exposure or ongoing transmission; local rules may differ. A positive test or TB symptoms need clinical follow-up rather than a simple completion report.
Confirm the service list, employee eligibility, locations, dates, employer authorization, payment arrangements and reporting contacts with the employer-service team. Give employees the correct appointment instructions and a route for questions or missed appointments. Confirm any proposed workplace event or outside collection site before arranging attendance.
Employers should receive only the information needed for the authorized work request. Agree on completion reports, restrictions or other necessary documentation and who may see them. Covered employers must keep medical information confidential and separate from ordinary personnel files. An employee’s personal treatment needs remain a confidential clinical matter.
Provide the employee group, earlier TB records, exact requirement and deadline to plan screening. The clinical team reviews eligibility and test choice. Confirm collection or skin-test placement appointments, any return readings, costs and authorized completion reports.
Quantiferon is an IGRA blood test; PPD is a skin test with a trained reading 48–72 hours after placement. They are different methods. The clinician reviews prior results, health history and the employer’s requirement before choosing whether an appropriate blood test can replace the requested skin test.
TB screening can be coordinated with an authorized work physical when appropriate. Confirm the required blood or skin test, costs and reporting. A skin test still needs a trained reading 48–72 hours after placement; combining appointments does not remove that return visit.
The employer-service team can discuss coordination across employee locations. Provide the states, roles and exact services so each proposed site and appointment can be confirmed. A network program does not establish every test, clinician license or regulated service in every state.
Employers can use the employer consultation to agree on services, locations, authorizations, costs and reports. Provide the headcount, requested service and deadline. An employee needing care should book the relevant clinical appointment with employer authorization; urgent care should not wait for a program-planning meeting.

TB screening often sits alongside vaccines, titers, and physical exams.
Larger groups need scheduling and completion tracking across employees.
Review covered roles, test type, timing, geography, forms, and reporting expectations before employees are routed.
Choose clinic, mobile, collection-site, lab, or account-managed workflows based on the service and workforce.
Give employees and managers clear instructions, then track visits, specimens, paperwork, and exceptions.
Route completion, pending items, and follow-up needs back to the agreed employer contact.
