Cologuard®Reviews 96

These people are scammers they all about money and some employees are rude I was talking to someone yesterday he try to get an attitude they bill me $681 dollars I gave them my insurance information if the insurance didn't approve it they should of let me know people was right about these scammers my test came back false positive don't take this test

At the request of my family physician, I agreed to a Cologuard test, a HUGE MISTAKE! My test result was positive, consequently, underwent a Colonoscopy. My doctor was concerned about a possible rupture so she was unable to complete the entire test. I then agreed to an uncomfortable and embarrassing Barium Enema which involved the same horrendous prep as the Colonoscopy. With no fault on my part, this test was ruled a failure! I then underwent a CT scan which involved a contrast IV and drinking the disgusting barium. The results of the CT scan was NEGATIVE, the Cologuard test was a FALSE POSITIVE! All of these tests were within a seven month time frame to include two unrelated surgeries. Needless to say, all of this took an enormous toll emotionally and physically. My advice to anyone is please DO NOT get this unreliable and money making Cologuard test from Exact Sciences, just go ahead and get a colonoscopy!

Attempted Cologuard this round as scheduling someone to pick me up from a colonoscopy can be difficult. I pooped in their box and returned it as per their instructions. After not hearing anything for around six months, I followed up and my doctor's office had to make several calls to learn that Cologuard rejected my sample because they "considered it too large." There was no communication to share that information and still, they had the balls to try to charge my insurance.

Nice to state it to the world when you have "Cologuard testing kit" on the outside box and/or label even if it is small. Ever hear of "Return to Sender"?

You guys are a pain in the butt. Stop calling my house every day for weeks. Not appreciated!

Go away!

Don't get the test! It's unreliable and they bill the patient a large out of pocket cost. They are rude on the phone and demeaning and undermine you.

I used Colorgaurd last summer due to parent being diagnosed with colon cancer. I paid $600 out of pocket and recieved the test by mail ordered by my healthcare provider. My healthcare provider who ordered the test reported that they hadn't received the results. I had two appointments with my healthcare clinician who reported that they still had not received the results. Last October my healthcare clinician who ordered the test relocated and I still do not have the results. An expensive waste of money!

I recently use the Cologuard kit! The process was excellent. My results came back positive! After 2 weeks of stressing and worrying about possibly having colon cancer I had a colonoscopy. The doctor found nothing! My concern is that people who have a negative results could possibly have something wrong! Please just get a colonoscopy! You never know!

It took several weeks to receive the kit and then I had to wait to do the test because you have to have 3 days to get it back to them and there were several holidays and weekends that I had to work around. The test came back positive. It was another several weeks before I could get in to take a colonoscopy and an EGD that both came out negative. I've got a perfectly healthy digestive tract. All in all, it was a 3 month process. Oh yeah, my insurance paid for Colonguard, but then didn't pay as much on the colonoscopy and EGD. Don't bother with this!

I decided to use Cologuard during Covid, since I couldn't get to the doctor. It came back positive. I was terrified. I had to wait 7 months to get a colonoscopy, because of Covid, even though I told them my test was positive (every doctor says "those tests aren't accurate"). I just had a colonoscopy, and it was negative. I had absolutely no polyps, nothing! The Cologuard test just stressed me out, and it is not accurate at all, as many doctors told me. Don't make the same mistake I did. Get the real test done... do a colonoscopy. The prep is awful, but you're asleep for the procedure, and it's over in 15-20 minutes.

I received the kit within a week of my doctor ordering it. It was very easy to use and the instructions put in simple terms. It was also easy to return the sample.

I feel that what happened with the previous reviewer is horrible. Cologuard is not for me and not for her. My doctor should have known that, her doctor should know that as well and colorguard should have known as well. They are not for people with symptoms nor for people with a family history. They are a very frustrating company right from the first robo call. Sleep is so important and it woke me up! I am so glad that someone was honest with me.

Very hard to work with them and NOT
1. Not covered under 50 years of age but only 50+ for healthy no fam hist/sympt.
2. Not with UTI/Period/Bleeding cracking skin/hemorrhoids = false positive
3. Fase postives require colonoscopy
4a Not for people with a family history of Colon cancer
4b Not polite customer service
6. Not for people with any GI symptoms
7. Not specific for blood inside the body vs outside.
8. NOT sure why the doctor wanted this because it's NOT for me according to the company.
Informed my doc that cologuard said this will do a false positive for me most likely according to cologuard.

Im sorry to the other reviewer who wanted this due to family history because it is NOT for that according to them.

They decided to order a much cheaper FIT test at a local lab which can tell the difference between blood that is not in the intestine and other. Not sure why a $600 test cannot do this too. Not sure why this was not considered before. So glad I found out this was NOT for me.

Love the Robo Calls waking me up after md ordered. Love the rude people who answer. Mailing to the wrong places.

Waste of my time dealing with this crude company

When I told them I was not doing the test they said to toss it! I should have had them send it to the previous reviewer! Glad to see I was not alone dealing with these horrible people.

So I've been having symptoms and colon cancer is in my family. In fact it's first degree. My doctor talk me into cologuard and I said ok. For almost a month I waited for cologuard to ship it to me but they never did. I called only to find out I didn't even exist in their system. My doctor faxed the order 4 more times. After three weeks I find out they got the order but because I'm under 50 my insurance won't pay for it. Doesn't matter first degree of cancer they still won't pay it. So I agreed to make payments. Cologuard is 649 dollars! They won't send it to you unless you pay for it right then. So I finally just told them forget it. I don't have that kind of money just laying around. This probably isn't a big deal to someone that has money but it's a big deal to me. Can't believe I wasted a whole month jumping through hoops only to find out my insurance doesn't cover it and they won't send it unless I pay it all right now. Ridiculous!
