Tuberculosis (TB) Screening Advanced Qualification

April 6 2023 5:06pm • Est. Read Time: 2 MIN

Some districts require CareDrivers to have a Tuberculosis risk assessment in order to claim their rides. You can identify rides that require this Advanced Qualification because they have a blue Tuberculosis Screening tag. 

CareDrivers are responsible for any costs associated with the Tuberculosis (TB) Advanced Qualification. 

A ride with a blue Tuberculosis Screening tag

A Tuberculosis (TB) risk assessment is a questionnaire to assess TB risk that does not require a skin test. A clear TB risk assessment screening is enough to qualify for this Advanced Qualification. 

If the risk assessment is not clear, you can qualify for the Advanced Qualification with a negative TB test. Learn more about how to obtain a TB Risk Assessment or TB skin test/x-ray below.

Note: In Virginia you must complete a TB skin test/ x-ray in order to obtain this qualification. A risk assessment is not sufficient.


TB Risk Assessment

If you need to get a TB risk assessment, you can get one from your doctor or another medical provider. If you have an existing clean TB risk assessment that is less than 60 days old, you can upload it using this form.

Option 1: Schedule an Appointment with Your Doctor

Follow the steps below to receive a TB risk assessment from your doctor:

  1. Schedule an appointment with your doctor and ask them to perform a Tuberculosis risk assessment.
  2. Complete the risk assessment with your doctor. If you do not pass the risk assessment, you must complete a tuberculosis skin test to obtain the TB Screening Advanced Qualification.
  3. Take a picture of the clear risk assessment or negative TB test results and submit them using this form

Option 2: Other Providers

You can also schedule a TB risk assessment with another medical provider, such as:

  • CVS Minute Clinic
  • WellnessMart

When you receive your results, take a picture and upload them for review using this form.

Tuberculosis Skin Test/X-Ray

In some cases, you must pass a TB Skin Test/x-ray in order to obtain the Tuberculosis Screening Advanced Qualification. You must pass a TB skin test/x-ray if:

  • You are a CareDriver in Virginia
  • Your TB risk assessment indicated a skin test or x-ray was necessary.

If you have a current negative TB test, you can submit it using this form. HopSkipDrive considers TB tests current if they are less than two years old. While specific schools and organizations may have varying requirements (ranging from one to five years) HopSkipDrive enforces a two-year policy.

You can obtain a TB skin test or x-ray from your doctor or by going to WellnessMart.
