From the Alabama Medicaid Agency on April 7, 2020:
“Due to a difficulty accessing providers that will provide and read TB skin tests, the Agency is issuing a temporary waiver of TB skin testing for new employees […] through 4/30/20.
“For new and initial employee testing: Complete TB skin test if possible. Otherwise, conduct TB screening using the TB Baseline Screening Assessment. It is imperative that employees whose skin tests are deferred be tracked and required to complete the skin testing as soon as reasonably possible.
