TB-Related Medicaid helps pay some medical costs for the care of
tuberculosis (TB) infection or TB disease.
To get TB-Related Medicaid, a person must meet income and asset rules and
have been infected with TB. For one person, the monthly income limit is $1,291
(gross) and the asset limit is $2,000 or less. For a minor, age 18 or younger
living at home, some of the parents’ income and assets are counted.
TB-Related Medicaid will cover ONLY 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
- Services needed due to side effects of prescribed drugs for TB care.
Note: TB-Related Medicaid does not pay for hospital stays or room and
board.
