Summary
Indiana Medicaid clarifies TB testing requirements for Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS) providers with direct care employees. All direct care staff must have TB testing upon hire before client contact, with additional requirements for annual TB education and testing after known exposure.
Action Required
HCBS providers only: Review personnel policies to ensure TB testing requirements are documented for direct care employees. Verify TB tests are completed before hire and stored in personnel files. Add annual TB education policy and exposure testing protocols. This does not affect typical medical billing practices.
