Cologuard®Reviews 96

Had cologuard test 2018 myself nor doctor were told of results. To this day nothing. Had cologuard test again 2023 got false pos. Skip it do colonscopy.

My doctor suggested using a convenient service for colon cancer screening. I was also told that my insurance would cover it. This raised red flags as nobody bothered to confirm it. After reading reviews, I found that may not be the case. I won't exaggerate this in the least. Before I could drive six miles to get home, I was receiving phone calls from Cologuard. The calls were followed up with more calls, texts, emails so excessively that it angered me. I decided that I won't use this service. I began to block numbers, but they'd just use a different one. After blocking their texts, they again used another untraceable number and posed themselves to be my medical provider. I will keep the unused sealed test kit as proof that I did not use their service should they decide to bill me for a screening. If anyone receives the kit and decides to not utilize it, I would suggest NOT returning the kit to them. I have zero faith that they would have the ethics to not send you a $681.00 bill.

I haven't even received a kit and I've decided I'm not going to proceed with this screening. My doctor's office didn't send the order in, so I was told to email or fax it, which I did. Then...nothing. I finally called to find out what was going on, and they did receive my email, but the order was missing a code they needed to process it. Did they contact me or the office to let us know and get it? No. As a matter of fact, they just cancelled the order and didn't notify anyone.

For a company that is supposedly concerned about patients' health, Cologuard doesn't instill any confidence in its potential patients (I mean, look at the other reviews) and completely disregards needs and concerns. I won't be doing this screening, and I can't afford a colonoscopy, so I guess I'll just have to hope for the best.

I had so much stress from a false positive. My Dr ordered this for me. Not one thing was wrong when I had the colonoscopy, no polyp, nothing! Now I have to pay for the colonoscopy since I had a positive result. I am trying to work with my Dr's office to see if they can change the code to a screening so that I don't pay as much. Have a high deductible insurance so a huge bill. That test is complete trash. Just go get the colonoscopy.

Had a positive cologuard review in December and finally got in for my colonoscopy and was found to have 7 polyps which were removed and also I have hemorrhoids which is probably why my test was positive. The polyps are going in for biopsy. Go for the colonoscopy because if you may have polyps and get a normal result, polyps could be missed and turn cancerous and that is wasting valuable time. The prep really isn't that awful for a definite piece of mind.

I've had my kit for two weeks now, and there is no way I can time it just right so I can run it to the UPS store. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. I work at home but I can't imagine how anybody who works in an office can do this? This may never happen lol

First of all this test is ridiculous. You can't poop too much because they don't put enough fixative in there. I ask you, how can one regulate and measure the size of their dump before pooping in a bucket?

That's what happened to me. I didn't even poop that much, but they told me just today, that I had to resend my sample. I was told that they could send me a new kit and if I poop too much, I could rinse that container out, let it dry and try again?!? I said hell no! I'm not gonna poop in a bucket or pinch it off to get the right size dump. What a fiasco. I wonder how little old people can do this? I'm sure that they can't! You can take your take your test and stick it where the sun doesn't shine. They had better not charge my insurance for that. And, I would have loved to add photos of the size of my dump in that bucket for reference!

Waste of time and money. Result will be abnormal. It will make you worry for weeks, and you'll have to get a colonascopy anyway. The colonascopy will be normal, and all the worry for nothing.

I refuse to do my screening this way based on customer reviews. Honestly the song they sing is offensive as I've heard. Frank Sinatra never intended to have such an emotional song used for a colon commercial. Talk about tacky! No respect in my opinion. I bawled my eyes out when it sung during my father's funeral and to hear it in this manner is horrible.

I was prescribed a Cologuard test at age 49. It came back positive. I was sent fir a colonoscopy at Harrisburg Endosopy. After the doctor who did the procedure gave me my results, which were fine...nothing found, he also said that 90% of the patients he gets from positive cologuard tests, find nothing during the colonoscopy.
To top it off...my insurance won't cover this "additional screening" because the cologuard test is the free screening. Now I have a bill of $870. How effective is this test if 90% at one doctor come back with no issues?.? It's a scam!

If you get a positive result, you have to do a colonoscopy anyway, but in this case it's now billed as "diagnostic " for your insurance instead of preventive screening.
Our insurance covers preventing screening not diagnostic. So $2k outta pocket
Beware! Cologuard is in bed with the insurance companies

Word to the wise! Do NOT do Cologuard! A few months ago I did it at my physician's request. I got a call from my doctor saying I had a positive result and needed a colonoscopy. I have been a complete wreck for two months. I probably drove my husband insane. I went today and got a colonoscopy and I am free and clear for 10 more years. I wish I would've read the reviews before I did it because they are terrible. I'm going to live! Do yourself a favor and just get the real thing and save yourself the stress. Money making scammers!

Trying to get a hold of them is like grating your fingers on a chalkboard constantly. First they called me with what seemed like a 10 minute recording. That's fine I have the information. I'm calling you back because I need to ship the product. I'm not going to listen to another 10 minutes with no way to get past the f****** prompts

Specimen was collected and shipped the same day. I received a notification that they couldn't preform due to stability. I am not collecting it again! Especially when it was shipped promptly.
