Re: FY2027 Wisconsin Tuberculosis (TB) Dispensary Contracts
It is time to establish Wisconsin TB Dispensary contracts for fiscal year 2027, which runs from
July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.
The contract is a standard purchase order interagency agreement between your health department
and the State of Wisconsin. The accompanying documents (Wisconsin Tuberculosis Dispensary
Policy and Procedures, with attachmentsA, B, C,D, E, Gand the TreatmentAssistance
Program Policies and Procedures) provide the specifics of how the Wisconsin TB Dispensary
works, who is eligible for coverage, what services and medications are allowed, service codes,
National Drug Codes (NDC), and Medicaid reimbursement rates as of April 2025.
Please follow emailed DocuSign instructions to electronically sign the contract and return to
DPH through DocuSign. Attachment B (Clinical Services Plan) must be returned, or your
contract will not be valid. AttachmentD (Pharmacy Services Plan) is optional, to be completed
and returned for any jurisdiction that will be requesting reimbursement for pharmacy services not
ordered through the default Wisconsin TB Dispensary pharmacy.
As always, WTBP staff members are available to answer any questions you may have by phone
(608-261-6319) or email (DHSWITBProgram@dhs.wisconsin.gov).

Tuberculosis(TB)ClinicalServicesPlan(CSP)
FY2026-2027
Purpose
The purpose of the Clinical Services Plan is to provide a framework for local health departments to describe and document
clinical services that will be provided through the Wisconsin Tuberculosis (TB) Dispensary Program. To participate in the
Wisconsin TB Dispensary Program, the local health department must agree to provide a financial assessment for each
patient, identify populations that are at risk for tuberculosis within their jurisdiction, provide documentation of services
provided or arranged and patient results, and provide or assure clinical assessments, diagnostic and follow-up testing and
patient management as described in Table 1. Please note that patients treated for active TB disease should receive
medications through the Wisconsin TB Dispensary Program or the locally contracted pharmacy, to better coordinate
outpatient TB treatment. The Financial Assessment below should still be completed and other payors identified, if
available.
FinancialAssessment
All clients and patients referred or presenting themselves for TB services will be assessed for their ability to provide
private insurance or Medicare/Medicaid coverage. Eligibility or presumptive eligibility for Medicaid and/or for
Tuberculosis-related Medicaid (known as TB only-MA) should be pursued. Upon submission to the Wisconsin TB
Program (WTBP), the services billed to the health department will be reimbursed at the Medicaid (MA) rate.

Documentation
Records of all TB services provided or arranged for will be kept according to health department record policies and
procedures and on forms/in formats that are efficient and useful in the health department. The WTBP, as authorized
by Wis. Admin. Code § DHS 145.12(4)(a) may audit the records of the health department dispensary. For
reimbursement for TB-related medical services, local and Tribal health departments (LTHDs) shall use the TB
Ordering and Billing Interface (TOBI).
The LTHD mustuse the Wisconsin Electronic Disease Surveillance System (WEDSS) for patient record management. All
patients covered by the dispensary must have a TB-related disease incident number in WEDSS associated with one of the
following services:
o Tuberculosis (resolution status= suspect or confirmed)
o AFB Smear
o Tuberculosis, Class A or B
o Tuberculosis, Latent Infection
o Contact Investigations
FormsforDocumentationof Treatment
The final results of TB or LTBI treatment must be documented so the patient and future health care providers have a
permanent record of this treatment. If the LTHD does not have access to WEDSS, or a doctor completed the treatment, the
following forms can be used to document treatment completion:
• Active TB Disease Follow-up Report form (E-02474)
• Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) Follow-up Report (F-44125)
InstructionsforDocumentingLTBIinWEDSS
Instructions for documenting LTBI in WEDSS can be found here: P-02426: Documenting LTBI in WEDSS
ClinicalAssessments
All clients and patients referred or presenting themselves for TB services will be assessed according to LTHD
policies, procedures and practices. Care provided, or arranged for, will be performed according to statutes, rules,
guidelines and CDC protocols with emphasis on public health protection and TB prevention and care.
Agreements
The LTHD must have established agreements with providers for clinical services to ensure that proper MA billing
practices are in place. Services provided or arranged by the LTHO should be documented in Table 1, below. Written
agreements or a memorandum of understanding (MOU) are encouraged and should include the following:
o Providers understand and agree to provide services in a timely manner to patients with infectious TB, or those
being evaluated for infectious TB using proper respiratory precautions.
o Providers understand and have agreed that they will be reimbursed at the MA rate.
o Providers understand and agree that services not listed on the service grid (Attachment A) must be pre-authorized
by the WTBP Director or Nurse Consultant.
o Services provided without pre-authorization will not be reimbursed.
o A simple form identifying the patient as a Health Department referral identifying the Health Department as
responsible for payment at Medicaid rates. Include Attachments A and C for the Medical Professionals reference.

PolicyandProcedures
Introduction
The primary purpose of the Wisconsin Tuberculosis (TB) Dispensary is to ensure that all persons in Wisconsin
with suspected or confirmed tuberculosis infection or disease can receive appropriate evaluation, treatment, and
monitoring, regardless of insurance availability.
Wisconsin's TB Dispensary uses state tax revenue funds to reimburse local and Tribal health departments
(LTHDs) for medical management of patients with active TB, patients being evaluated for TB, patients with
latent TB infection (LTBI), and patients exposed to TB. The word "dispensary," as it is used here, is a
legislative term referring to the mechanism by which LTHDs are reimbursed for the management of TB
patients. The traditional use of the word (i.e., the pharmaceutical dispensing of medicines or medical supplies)
does not apply. Wisconsin's TB Dispensary includes reimbursement for clinical services and medications
necessary for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of TB.
Wisconsin's TB Dispensary must be the LAST payer after all other potential sources have been billed. The
payer order is:
• Private insurance
• Public insurance: Medicare, Medicaid (MA), Refugee MA, and Tuberculosis Related Medicaid (known as
TB Only MA)
• Wisconsin TB Dispensary
Policy
LTHDs or combinations of two or more health departments that are "in good standing," as determined by their
overall health department review process under Wis. Admin. Code $ OHS 140, may request certification as a
dispensary for TB clinical services and/or TB pharmacy services. This will enable the LTHD to submit bills and to
be reimbursed for specific procedures and/or medications for eligible persons with TB disease, LTBI, or persons
being evaluated for TB disease or LTBI.
The Wisconsin Tuberculosis Program (WTBP) will provide consultation, guidance, and review of LTHO TB
programs, policies, procedures, and clinical practices to ensure that they are in compliance with Wisconsin
statutes, administrative codes and established standards of practice, particularly those outlined in Wis. Stat. $
252.10: http://docs.legis.wi.gov/statutes/statutes/252/10/1.
To participate in the Wisconsin TB Dispensary, LTHDs must ensure that all services provided, or arranged for,
are consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and WTBP guidelines and clinical
standards of practice for TB control and elimination. LTHDs must ensure these services are provided in keeping
with goals for the elimination of TB in Wisconsin. If suchguidelinesorstandardsofpracticearenot
followed,dispensaryfundsmaybewithheld,suspended,orrevokedperWis.Admin.Code§ DHS145.12
(1):
https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/code/admin code/dhs/110/145/II/l 2.
One service for which the Wisconsin TB Dispensary was particularly developed is to ensure that directly
observed therapy (DOT) is provided as appropriate for all persons with active TB disease or LTBI, as
recommended by the WTBP and national guidelines. The availability of reimbursement to LTHDs for DOT is
meant to ensure that this service will be provided as recommended.
DocusignEnvelopeID:534471C6-8D1F-8C91-83C9-82798CE9E0EB
To participate in the Wisconsin TB Dispensary, the LTHO must create and submit clinical and/or pharmacy
services plan(s), as well as sign the annual contract. The contract with WTBP enables the LTHO to bill the
WTBP for covered TB-related clinical services and TB-related medications. TB clinical services and
medications are specific and limited by Wis. Admin. Code $ OHS 145.12 (1):
https://docs.Iegis.wisconsin.gov/code/admin code/dhs/110/145/II/12.
As determined by Wisconsin Administrative Code, services and medications are reimbursed at the MA rate;
however, the Wisconsin TB Dispensary is not an MA program. Reimbursable services and medications are
listed in AttachmentsA, C, and E.
Procedure
InitialRequest
LTHDs are encouraged to participate in the Wisconsin TB Dispensary. LTHDs have the option of participating
in the Wisconsin TB Dispensary by providing clinical services, pharmacy services, or both.
The following conditions must be met to participate:
• The LTHO must be "in good standing" in relation to the latest public health department review.
• The LTHO must have established agreements with providers (for clinical services) and/or pharmacies (for
pharmacy services) to ensure that there are proper MA billing practices in place.
• It is the responsibility of the LTHO to evaluate patients' health insurance status to determine if they have
private insurance or qualify for MA or TB Only MA , as well as to assist a qualifying TB patient in
applying for MA services. Local economic assistance agencies are most knowledgeable about
qualification for and enrollment in state and federal health care programs. TheWTBPisnotabletocheck
eligibilityorenrollpatients.
• The LTHO mustuse the Wisconsin Electronic Disease Surveillance System (WEDSS) for patient record
management.
• For reimbursement to LTHDs for TB-related medical services and/or medications, LTHDs shall use the
TB Ordering and Billing Interface (TOBI).
Information
The WTBP will provide information to LTHDs interested in participating in the Wisconsin TB Dispensary.
Information provided shall include:
• Wis. Admin. Code § § OHS 145.12 and 145.13:
https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/code/admin code/dhs/110/145/Il/
• Allowable clinical services and medications
• Clinical and/or pharmacy services plans
• Department of Health Services (OHS) general contract
• Billing instructions for reimbursement
ConsultationandReview
LTHDs that participate in the Wisconsin TB Dispensary will coordinate services with local providers, educate
the community on the prevention of tuberculosis, and consult with the WTBP on all persons being evaluated
for TB, patients with active TB disease, and, as warranted, on people with LTBI or who are contacts to an
active case.
WTBP review will ensure that the health department has up-to-date resources readily available for staff's
access, and that policy, procedures, and clinical practices are consistent with:
• State and federal regulatory requirements
• CDC standards and protocols for treatment
• Official statements from the American Thoracic Society and the American Academy of Pediatrics
• Directives from the State of Wisconsin epidemiologist
• WTBP Guidelines, Division of Public Health Directives, and current established clinical standards of
practice, especially those identified by DHS 145.12

RequiredforParticipationintheWisconsinTBDispensary
To participate in the Wisconsin TB Dispensary, Wis. Admin. Code § OHS 145.12 requires that the LTHD be
able to provide or ensure provision of clinical services (see Attachment B) and pharmacy services (see
Attachment D). All provisions will be reviewed and the delivery of TB services will be monitored by WTBP
staff.
ClinicalServicesPlan(CSP)
A CSP ensures the provision for tuberculosis prevention and control at the local level. The LTHO should focus
on identification of active TB disease in high-risk groups and early identification and treatment of LTBI,
particularly close and high-risk contacts, children, and any person who is immunosuppressed. The plan consists
of five elements:
1. Financial assessment (see CSP template, Attachment B for eligibility determination guidance)
• Private insurance
• Medicaid or Medicare
• TB Only MA
2. Identification of high-risk persons
• Population or medical risk factors
• Risk specific to Wisconsin
• Risk specific to the LTHD jurisdiction
3. Documentation of patient management in WEDSS
• Services provided by LTI-ID
• Services provided by health care provider
4. Clinical Assessments and Services
• IGRA (preferred) or TST
• Risk assessment and medical evaluation
• Prescription of drugs for treatment of TB and LTBI
• Chest imaging: chest X-ray (CXR) or computed tomography (CT)
• Sputum collection or induction for acid-fast bacilli smear and culture
• Venipuncture for IGRA or other laboratory testing
• Health care setting with airborne infection isolation and respiratory precautions
• Directly observed therapy
• Contact investigations
5. Provider Agreements
• Written (preferred) or verbal agreement(s) with local provider(s)
• Types of services that the provider will offer
• Provider acceptance of MA rate for reimbursement
A CSP should be submitted annually with the contract. A CSP does not need to change from year to year, but
anything done differently from the previous year should be highlighted in the updated plan. Because the contract
consists largely of general contract language, the CSP must specifically identify the providers with whom the
LTHO has agreements for the patient services to be provided. A template oft he CSP can be found in Attachment
B and may be customized for an individual LTHD.
PharmacyServicesPlan(PSP)
A PSP ensures treatment of active TB disease and LTBI. The plan consists of four elements:
1. Provision of medications for the treatment of active TB disease or LTBI (see PSP template, Attachment D).
2. Financial assessment (see PSP template, Attachment D) for eligibility determination guidance
• Private insurance
• Medicaid or Medicare
• TB Only MA
3. Documentation of patient management in WEDSS
• Date therapy started
• Initial drug regimen
Page3of 5
DocusignEnvelopeID:534471C6-8D1F-8C91-8309-82798CE9E0EB
• Changes in drug regimen
• Date therapy stopped
• Reason therapy stopped
• DOT
4. Provider Agreements
• Written agreement(s) with pharmacy
• Types of services that the pharmacy will offer
• Pharmacy acceptance of MA rate for reimbursement
A PSP should be submitted annually with the contract. A PSP does not need to change from year to year, but
anything done differently from the previous year should be highlighted in the updated plan. Because the contract
consists largely of general contract language, the PSP must specifically identify the pharmacies with whom the
LTHD has agreements for the patient services to be provided. A template of the PSP can be found in Attachment
D and may be customized for individual LTHDs.
Budget
WTBP will provide a sum sufficient to cover expenses for identification, treatment and management of active
TB disease and LTBI. Each fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. All reimbursements from the
Wisconsin TB Dispensary are based on the availability of state tax revenue funds.
Contract
State contracts are sent electronically through the DocuSign platform. Upon receipt and review of the contract
by the appropriate LTHD authorities, the contract should be signed electronically and returned via DocuSign.
Attachment B must be completed and returned within DocuSign, completion of Attachment D is optional. The
contract will be signed by the State of Wisconsin Division of Public Health Administrator. An electronic copy
of the signed contract will be sent to the LTHD and the WI TB Program. The contract is effective from July 1
through June 30 for the given fiscal year and governs the provision and reimbursement of dispensary services.
The TB Dispensary will send a renewal contract to the LTHD each spring through DocuSign.
Questions about the contract or CSP should be directed to:

2. CurbandGutterwith 10-footwideasphaltpath
