TB test

Any idea where I can get a cheap TB test for my girls? The only place I've found charges $40 each. OUCH. I'm in Texas.

Does your county have a health department? Maybe they have them for less?

Their doctor's office should be able to do it. If they have insurance coverage, it should be covered and you'd just have your copay.

When you get it done, do allow time in your schedule to come back a about two days later for the test readng.
