Cologard is supposed to be every few years, yet less than a year after having the cologard test that was negative I received another test notification that I was due for another test and that it may not be covered by insurance. My husband also received the same mailing after less than a year. There may be scammers out there or Cologard is itself pulling a scam. Don't trust them.

Was not told by cologuard that there is a list of over 10 drugs that can cause false positives including metformin, Jardiance, entresto, blood thinners. I am on two of them qnd ended up with a false positive. If provided with this information I could have gone off these drugs a couple of days before test

Cologuard is useless as it cannot tell you the markers that determine either negative or positive...the FDA restricts them from giving you this information. So extremely high incidents of false positives and incidents of false negatives do happen a lot. If I am being analyzed for a medical condition I have the right to know what the markers determined. I dread getting colonoscopy because I have severe scoliosis and things can go very wrong during the procedure. So I guess I will just talk to my doctor and see what my options are and make a decision-but probably not colonoscopy. BTW why is it you can't take a repeat cologuard until 3 years later? Probably because a repeat within a month or 2 would be a different diagnosis.

Have to resubmit again as they claim I did not cover with clear solution to aid in preservation. I poured ALL of the provided solution in the appropriate container. Very annoyed!

This company has too high a rate of false positives;then I couldn't even receive my results for over 3 months they do not do business correctly and when they have lab work tests it needs to be true and accurate. This company is horrible.I they have done other malicious things also after getting a false positive they wanted me to then use my charge card to pay over $500 and would not give me any information until I paid and my insurance had already paid them. THEY LIE at customer service, increasing their responsibility for being a bad option for any health care!

I've done ColoGuard tests for years, always with negative results. This year, instead of a small padded envelope in the mail, I received a large box from UPS. Massive amounts of plastics and papers. Previously, I put the test strip in a small return envelope in my mailbox for pickup. Now I must drive to the UPS office after "disposing of all materials". Which I didn't do and put everything back in the box including a note that the whole mess should be recycled. This company should be called out for a massive waste of resources.

Just don't do it! I tried ColoGuard instead of going for my 10 year follow-up colonoscopy. And as many other reviewers have said, I also got a positive result and had to have a colonoscopy. I has a week of being worried sick between my false positive results to my colonoscopy which I had today 04/22/24. Thankfully absolutely nothing was found! My doctor did tell me that they see many, many false positives. My PCP recommended a colonoscopy, but I asked for ColoGuard because I am stubborn. I should have listened to her!

My husband took a cologuard test, it came back positive so he had to have a diagnostic colonoscopy. The colonoscopy was negative, showed no cancer but a couple small polyps. His dr said polyps often read as positive with cologuard test. Unfortunately because the colonoscopy was diagnostic instead preventative due to the cologuard false positive it is not covered 100%. It cost us $5000. Definitely skip the cologuard test.
