TB Medicaid (MA)

Changes to COVID-19-related coverage

Starting October 1, 2024, TB Medicaid will no longer cover the cost of COVID-19 testing and treatment, including the COVID-19 vaccine.

COVID-19 vaccines may be available at low or no cost through either the Vaccines for Children program (under 19 years old) or the Vaccines for Adults program (over 19 years old).

Wisconsin Tuberculosis-Related Only Medicaid is a health care plan for persons diagnosed with active tuberculosis (TB) disease or latent TB infection (LTBI) who do not have insurance and do not meet requirements for other Medicaid programs.

The plan covers medication and medical services directly related to the treatment of TB disease or LTBI. Individuals who are in need of medical assistance are encouraged to call their local health department for help with the application process.

After contacting their local health department, individuals or their representatives can call their income maintenance consortium office (see resources below) for their area to check for eligibility and apply.
