Tuberculosis Clinic (TB)
Definition
Tuberculosis (TB) Clinics receive funding from the CDC for TB prevention, diagnosis, and treatment activities. TB funding is authorized under Section 317E of the Public Health Service Act and is awarded to state and local health departments and other organizations.
TB Clinics are eligible for 340B participation and are identified as TB in OPAIS. They are not subject to the GPO Prohibition or orphan drug exclusion. TB medications—including multi-drug regimens for drug-resistant TB—can be expensive, making 340B savings valuable for these programs.
