All persons who present for a PPD are given a risk-assessment form to complete. Each assessment form is evaluated for the need for a PPD or a screening letter. A screening letter is given in lieu of a PPD to those who have no risk factors.
There is no charge for a risk assessment. There is a $10.00 fee for administration of a PPD.
PPD administrative charges will be waived for students transferring to Kanawha County Schools from out-of-state who must have documentation of a negative PPD within 4 months prior to entering Kanawha County Schools.
Under certain circumstances the PPD administrative fee is waived including:
Known contact to active TB case
Symptoms of active TB
Physician requested diagnostic tuberculin skin tests
Homeless Shelter Residents
PPD’s and screening letters are given each Monday, Tuesday and Friday on a walk-in basis from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm.
If you receive a PPD, you must return to KCHD 48 – 72 hours after administration to have your PPD read.
If you do not return during this specified time period and the test has to be repeated, there will be a $10.00 fee for retesting.
