(2)For purposes of paragraph (1), the term “tuberculosis services”, with respect to an individual, means—

(A)counseling the individual with respect to tuberculosis;

(B)testing to determine whether the individual has contracted such disease and testing to determine the form of treatment for the disease that is appropriate for the individual; and

If the percentage so determined is 2 percent or more, the percentage applicable under this paragraph for the State is the percentage determined under subparagraph (A), subject to not exceeding 5 percent.
