The PPD skin test is a common method for checking TB exposure. A small amount of testing fluid is injected just beneath the skin of your forearm, and results are read 48–72 hours later. This test is often required for employment, healthcare workers, school enrollment, or travel documentation.
The TB blood test—also called an Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA)—offers a more accurate and convenient way to detect TB infection, especially for those who have received the BCG vaccine. It requires just one visit and delivers quick results without a return appointment.
A chest X-ray is used to determine if TB is active in the lungs, especially after a positive skin or blood test. This imaging helps rule out active tuberculosis and is often requested for immigration, medical clearance, or follow-up evaluations.

Two common TB tests are the PPD skin test (Mantoux test) and TB blood tests (IGRA). For further evaluation, a TB chest X-ray may be performed to detect lung abnormalities indicating active TB. Quick Urgent Care provides all three options—skin tests, blood tests, and chest X-rays—in one convenient location, with walk-in availability, extended hours, and on-site labs and imaging for quick, reliable results.
Many insurance plans cover TB testing for medically necessary screenings, such as for work, school, or immigration, but it’s important to confirm coverage with your provider to understand potential out-of-pocket costs. Quick Urgent Care offers affordable, efficient testing with walk-in availability, eliminating the need for an appointment. Our knowledgeable staff can assist with insurance questions and provide transparent pricing for self-pay patients.
The time to receive TB test results varies by type: skin tests require a follow-up visit 48-72 hours after the injection to check for a reaction, while TB blood tests typically provide results within a few days as they are processed in a lab. Quick Urgent Care offers both skin and blood tests, as well as chest X-rays for further evaluation of potential active TB infections, ensuring a comprehensive approach.
