Find a funding source: new funding tool

For people without health insurance, financing necessary tuberculosis treatment can be a particular challenge.
A new decision-making tool on the responsibility of cost-bearing entities helps healthcare professionals identify possible ways to secure coverage. The tool is aimed in particular at physicians in public health departments, hospitals, and private practices, as well as social workers. Based on relevant questions—including the affected person’s age, immigration status, and potential entitlements through the Jobcenter or social services—the decision-making tool provides guidance on potential cost-bearing entities, the respective legal basis, and further information.

The tool is designed to make it easier to navigate complex care situations and to help identify potential sources of funding for tuberculosis treatment.
