Why this requirement exists
Home-based care happens without facility health-clearance infrastructure behind you — so AGENCIES front-load requirements. Medicare-certified home-health agencies must ensure employee TB screening per CoPs; registry/private arrangements vary wildly.
Worth knowing
Private clients increasingly ask for documentation even where no law requires it — a current IGRA result smooths those conversations and protects everyone.
Order the required tests
Direct-access laboratory testing — no doctor visit needed. Results arrive as forwardable PDFs that satisfy most compliance offices.
