Who's most at risk?
- Nearly 1 in 4 new TB cases in 2024 were in people 65+
- Many Medicare recipients face added risks
Ask your members of Congress to urge CMS to start the long-delayed review for Medicare LTBI testing coverage.

Testing for latent TB infection (LTBI) saves lives and money. But Medicare has stalled...
- Over 25 organizations called on CMS to act nearly 2 years ago.
-TB cases are the highest in a decade.
- Older Americans are at greater risk.
