New Tuberculosis Reporting System
The Maine CDC is excited to announce that we are modernizing our Tuberculosis (TB) reporting system.
Currently, inactive TB (also known as Latent TB Infection or LTBI) cases and suspect and confirmed active TB cases are reported through a combination of faxed referral forms and phone calls. The new system is an online form that can be used to report inactive TB cases and suspect and confirmed active TB cases.
The new form can be accessed at https://redcap.link/Maine-TB-report and the link is available on the Maine CDC's TB website at http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/tb
This new system improves reporting completeness, allows automated enrollment in the billing assistance program, and provides a mechanism to request assistance from Maine CDC Public Health Nursing. This new reporting system is already live, and we encourage all providers to start using it right away. As of April 1, 2025, the Maine CDC will require use of this system and will no longer accept faxed, emailed, or phoned-in TB referrals.
For questions related to TB illness, please reach out to tb.dhhs@maine.gov. For questions on how to use the form, please reach out to redcap.dhhs@maine.gov.
