TB testing page!

<p>I can’t find the questionnaire. I only found one pdf form that you have to mail in. Can someone give me a link?
the shs.ucsd.edu link doesn’t work for me.thanks</p>

<p>I got the TB skin test done today lol When the spot filled up under the skin it looked crazy</p>

<p>Ok, different people are giving different answers…Do we fill out the other 3 forms besides the TB form even if we have our own insurance???</p>

<p>i don’t have insurance so i guess i will do all the forms listed! i don’t think it would hurt to do all three even if you had an insurance…but not sure!</p>

<p>How do I get to the tb questionaire and the 3 tb forms? link please!!? thank you</p>

<p>if I have my own insurance from Kaiser, and I get sick – I can still go to SHS to be treated right?</p>

<p>Here’s the excerpt from the email:
To access the TB Screening Questionnaire, go to <a href=“https://shs.ucsd.edu%5B/url%5D”>https://shs.ucsd.edu</a> . You will need to sign on using your UCSD Personal ID number (PID) and your password. This will take you to the Student Health Service Online Services page. From there go to Forms in the left column, then scroll down to the Tuberculosis Screening Questionnaire.</p>

<p>There are also three other forms you have to fill out: Health History Form, Notice of Privacy Practices, and Treatment Agreement.</p>

<p>I hope this helps! :slight_smile:
BTW, I don’t think it hurts to fill out the forms even if you have your own health insurance. The SHS just wants a record of your medical history and in order to receive treatment at SHS, you have to fill out those forms.</p>

<p>They give you until the end of fall quarter to complete the TB test. Don’t panic guys.</p>

<p>for the TB testing, can i agree to do everything and then send the attached document, or make sure its sent and then agree to it?
-also, when they say health care provider, it means your doctor right? not your insurance company or anything else? cause i don’t have an insurance</p>

<p>Do we get any confirmation after sending it in?</p>

<p>i guess not…so we just consent and proceed, then send it…</p>

<p>I think you get a confirmation when SHS receives your TB form. I faxed mine in and a day or two later, a health staff from SHS sent me a message on the SHS website.</p>

<p>oh…so do we consent and proceed the TB page after i get the message? or the other way around</p>

<p>I called them up and a very generous person spent time to contact many people to make sure my stuff was sent in. But other than that, you don’t get a confirmation.</p>

<p>oh okay then i should just consent everything on TB page on the website and then send it!</p>

<p>psssh, relax, relax.</p>

<p>Talked to a heath advisor @ SD and she said you can get the Tb test done on campus, just check into student health.</p>

<p>^yeah, but don’t you need to pay a fee??</p>

<p>Ahhh, I’m taking mine today! So scared :frowning: wish me luck!!</p>

<p>yup! mine is gonna be 30 dollars… i heard that it hurts!</p>

<p>Mmm, it wasn’t that bad actually. It was like a long pinch. It started off okay, and then it hurt a little when she put the tb stuff in my arm. But, overall, it was okay! Not too different from a shot :)</p>
