Tuberculosis (TB) Skin Testing

FP Associates, P.C. * 1103 Galvin Road South, Suite G * 402-292-1072

East of Bellevue University, just behind the Wells Fargo Bank

All new international students at Bellevue University must attend a mandatory tuberculosis testing clinic during their first academic session at Bellevue University. Students may have the test done at a clinic of their choice; however, Bellevue University has made arrangements for students to go through the clinic at FP Associates, for the students' convenience.

TB skin testing can be done on those students who may have received the BCG (tuberculosis) vaccine in their home country.

The clinic consists of two days. The first day is for the test. The second day is for the reading of the test results. Students must attend both days in order for the test to be valid.

A TB questionnaire will be completed at the time of the skin test.

All positive test results will require a chest x-ray and a doctor’s appointment to review results and discuss treatment recommendations.

A $20 cash payment will be required for the skin test. This $20 fee is paid by the student and not paid by the insurance company.

An additional $20 co-payment will be required for a chest x-ray and doctor’s appointment. An insurance claim will be filed with the student’s health insurance plan and insurance financial obligations will apply.

***Please note: If you have already been tested for TB in the U.S. within the last six (6) months, submit your test results before the clinic begins to the International Programs Office for consideration to waive this Bellevue University requirement.
