Does Urgent Care Do TB Testing and Drug Screening Near Me?

Yes — completely. Whether you are searching for a “TB test near me” for a new job, “drug testing near me” for school enrollment, or need immigration compliance paperwork fast, you do not need a hospital or specialist.

At Buen Pastor Medical Center, our walk-in family medicine clinic handles TB skin tests, TB blood tests, and employment drug screens the same day you come in. Our bilingual team processes your paperwork efficiently and accurately — so you meet your work, school, or immigration deadline without the financial stress of a hospital visit.

No insurance required. No specialist referral. No long waits.

 

 

The Real Cost of TB Tests and Drug Screens: Hospital vs. Self-Pay Clinic

Corporate urgent care chains and hospital outpatient clinics often apply separate intake fees, administrative charges, and facility costs on top of basic occupational screenings. For an uninsured worker or student, this can turn a simple TB test into an unexpected $150+ bill.

Buen Pastor Medical Center works differently. We keep occupational screening pricing simple, honest, and upfront.

 

• 🏥 Hospital Outpatient Average: $120 – $280+ (before documentation or lab processing)

 

• 🏢 Corporate Urgent Care Chain: $110 – $190+ per isolated screening request

 

• 🩺 Buen Pastor Self-Pay Rate: $35 Medical Consultation + Testing fees quoted upfront in writing

 

 

Our Transparent TB & Drug Screen Pricing (No Surprises)

We believe in honest, upfront pricing. Here is exactly how our pricing works:

 

• Medical Consultation: $35 (covers your physical evaluation)

 

• PPD Skin Test: Flat fee — always quoted upfront before administration

 

• QuantiFERON-TB Gold (IGRA) Blood Test: Flat fee — quoted in writing before your blood is drawn

 

• Multi-Panel Drug Screen: Flat fee based on the specific panel your employer or school requires — always quoted before collection

 

• Follow-Up Visits: $35 (for result review)

 

All testing fees are separate from the $35 consultation but always quoted in writing before we begin. You approve it first — always.

We also partner with CareCredit for patients who need flexible payment options.

TB Testing Options — PPD Skin Test vs. IGRA Blood Test

We offer both primary forms of TB testing so you can meet your exact employer, school, or immigration requirement:

 

💉 TB Skin Test (PPD — Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative)

• What it is: A small injection under the skin of your forearm. You must return to our clinic 48 to 72 hours later for a licensed provider to read your result. This is a hard requirement — if you miss the reading window, the test is invalid and must be restarted.

 

• Best for: Standard workplace, school, and healthcare employment requirements.

 

• Can I get a TB test at a pharmacy? Pharmacies and retail chains do not administer TB skin tests — this requires a licensed medical provider who can both administer and officially read your result. A family medicine clinic like ours is the right place.

 

• Important note: If you received the BCG vaccine as a child (common in Latin America, Asia, and Africa), a PPD skin test can produce a false positive. In that case, an IGRA blood test is the more accurate choice — ask your provider.

 

• Turnaround: Same-day placement; reading at your 48–72 hour return visit.

 

 

🩸 TB Blood Test (QuantiFERON-TB Gold / IGRA)

• What it is: A single-visit blood draw. No return visit needed for placement reading.

 

• Best for: Patients with a BCG vaccine history, patients with busy schedules who cannot return for a reading, and immigration medical exams (USCIS).

 

• Turnaround: Results available within 2 to 3 business days after your blood draw.

 

• Why it matters: IGRA is not affected by prior BCG vaccination — it provides a more accurate result for many patients.

 

Not sure which test your employer or school requires? Call us at (954) 882-0191 and our bilingual team will confirm before your visit.

 

 

Employment and School Drug Screening Panels

When employers and students search for a “drug screen near me” or a “10 panel drug test near me,” they need a process that is accurate, trusted by employers, and fast.

At Buen Pastor Medical Center, we handle standard and specialized urine drug screening panels:

 

🧪 5-Panel Drug Screen

• Covers 5 common substance categories
• Standard for many workplace, transportation, and academic enrollment requirements
• Results available within 2 to 3 business days through our partner lab

 

🧪 10-Panel Drug Screen

• Broader panel covering 10 substance categories
• Required for corporate onboarding, professional licensing, and many healthcare employment positions
• Results available within 2 to 3 business days

 

🔒 Chain-of-Custody Protocols

• We follow secure collection procedures to protect sample integrity
• Your final results are fully trusted and accepted by HR departments and employers

 

📋 Private Results Delivery

• Results are provided directly to you or securely routed to your employer or school contact based on your written authorization

 

Bring any specific employer or school testing forms to your visit — our team will confirm all requirements are met before collecting your sample.

 

 

TB Testing for Immigration — What You Need to Know

If you are completing a USCIS immigration physical (Form I-693), you will need a tuberculosis test as part of your required labs. Here is what matters for immigration:

 

• Does the USCIS medical exam include a drug test? USCIS immigration physicals (Form I-693) do not include a standard employment-style drug screen. The required labs are for infectious diseases — TB (IGRA), syphilis (RPR), and gonorrhea/chlamydia (NAAT) — not substances. If your employer separately requires a drug test in addition to your immigration physical, we can coordinate both during the same visit.

 

• USCIS requires the IGRA blood test (QuantiFERON-TB Gold) — not the PPD skin test — for most immigration physicals processed today.

 

• Your TB test result is included as part of your complete immigration lab panel, which also includes RPR (syphilis) and NAAT (gonorrhea/chlamydia).

 

• Results are included in your sealed Form I-693 envelope prepared by our Civil Surgeon.

 

• Turnaround for the full immigration lab panel: 5 to 8 business days.

 

If you just need a standalone TB test for work or school — not an immigration physical — call us first at (954) 882-0191 and we will confirm which test your specific requirement calls for.

 

 

Hidden Fees to Watch Out For at Other Clinics

At corporate urgent care chains and hospital outpatient clinics, the initial quote for a TB test or drug screen often does not include all the charges. Always ask these questions before booking anywhere else:

 

• “Is the TB skin test or blood draw included in your base visit fee, or billed separately?” (At our clinic all testing fees are quoted in writing before any sample is collected — no surprises.)

 

• “What is the exact cost of my drug screen panel before I provide my sample?” (We quote every panel upfront. Others send samples to outside labs that bill you weeks later.)

 

• “If I miss my PPD reading window, will you charge me to restart the test?” (Call us — we will advise. If your schedule is tight, we often recommend the IGRA blood test instead to avoid a missed return visit.)

 

 

How to Walk In or Book Your Compliance Screening

We keep TB tests and drug screens simple, fast, and fully bilingual (English & Spanish):

 

Option A — Walk In (No Appointment Required): Ready to get tested today? Walk in during business hours — same-day TB tests and drug screens available with no appointment needed.

 

Option B — Prefer a confirmed time?: Book your compliance screening at Buen Pastor Medical Center and secure your slot in advance.

 

Once you arrive:

1) Bring your paperwork: Bring the exact forms required by your employer, school, or immigration attorney. Our team confirms all requirements before collecting any sample.

 

2) See your provider: Pay your $35 consultation fee. Your provider administers your PPD injection or coordinates your blood draw or urine sample — with a written cost quote before anything is collected.

 

3) Return or receive results: PPD patients return at 48–72 hours for their reading. IGRA and drug screen results return within 2 to 3 business days. Your provider signs and stamps your official paperwork, ready for submission.

FAQs About TB Tests, Drug Screens, and Turnaround Times

 

What happens if I miss the 48–72 hour PPD reading window? 

• If a PPD skin test is not read by a licensed provider within the 48-to-72-hour window, the placement becomes invalid and must be restarted. If your schedule makes a return visit difficult, we recommend the IGRA blood test instead — it requires only one visit and results return within 2 to 3 business days.

 

Can you do a certified drug test for employment or a CDL? 

• Yes. We handle standard and multi-panel urine drug screens with secure chain-of-custody protocols. Bring any specific employer forms with you so our team can confirm all requirements are met before collection.

 

How far back does a urine drug test detect substances? 

• Most standard urine panels detect common substances within approximately 2 to 5 days of use. Detection windows vary based on metabolism, frequency of use, and the specific substance. All samples are processed through our partner laboratories with confirmation testing for accuracy.

 

Do I need insurance or a referral to get a TB test or drug screen here? 

• No. You do not need health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or a referral. Our self-pay model is designed for uninsured, cash-pay, and employer-sponsored patients — walk in or book online, no red tape. You approve it first — always.
