- Order the matching tests online. The simplest option for most HCC checklists is the Immunity Panel + QuantiFERON TB Blood Test.
- Visit a participating lab location for your blood draw. TB skin tests are placed at participating clinics and need a return visit 48 to 72 hours later for the reading.
