The TB-Only Related Services Plan helps pay some medical costs for the care of tuberculosis (TB) infection or TB disease.

For a minor, age 18 or younger living at home, some of the parents’ income and assets may be counted.

TB-Only Related Services will ONLY cover services directly related to the care of TB. These include:

• Physician services,

• Prescription drugs,

• Laboratory test and x-rays,

• Clinic services,

• Services designed to encourage completion of treatment, and/or
