Is my county required to use all of the forms listed on the “Montana Tuberculosis Forms” Web page?
A. The Montana tuberculosis forms are divided into three categories. One is required forms and the other two are recommended forms for the management of active tuberculosis (TB) disease and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Only the forms that are required need to be filled out and submitted to the TB Program at the state health department. The recommended forms are for guidance, documentation, and education and are being made available based on feedback and requests received from local health jurisdictions to provide examples and templates of forms for comprehensive TB patient and LTBI management purposes.
