Free Testing and Diagnosis
Any client may go for a free medical exam, testing and diagnosis to any of Philadelphia's Health Care Centers. These services are also available from an individual's private health care provider. If a patient tests positive for TB, he/she will be automatically referred by the doctor or health care facility to the Tuberculosis Control Program to receive free treatment and services. In all cases, TB Control maintains the patient's confidentiality.

Case Management
After an individual is referred to TB Control, they are eligible for case management services. Case managers work with the patients' physician or health care provider to make sure he or she is receiving the proper medical care. Additional services include helping patients to find and access available services, picking up and delivering free medication to patients and finding, testing and treating individuals who have come in contact with the patient

Directly Observed Therapy (DOT)
Case workers personally observe a patient taking his/her medication to make sure it is taken on schedule. Directly observed therapy is offered either at the DOT Center from 7:30 am to 1 pm, or when needed, in the patient's home. All services are free through TB Control and Philadelphia's Health Care Centers
