My clinician ordered Cologuard in July 2026, but apparently accidentally put July 2025 on the electronic test requisition. I sent in my sample, logged into the portal - they received it. But I never got results - could see that they were processing. Did a live chat and found out about the date error. They THREW OUT my sample, did not contact my clinician to have her fix a very minor date error, and did NOT contact me to tell me that my sample had been destroyed. I called the customer service number and they basically said they'd send another kit. I work in health care. This is not how it's done. You contact the ordered clinician, they change the form. If you have to destroy the sample, you let the patient know. Poor.

Last time I checked I was an adult and ColoGuard was NOT my mama!!! If I am concerned about something regarding my health, I will talk to my doctor and then it will be ultimately my decision as to what I allow, nobody else's. I just received one of ColoGuard's lame tests in a box today and I did NOT order it. ColoGuard sent my husband one of these UNREQUESTED TESTS in a box months ago. He DID NOT allow ColoGuard to lead him around by the nose. ColoGuard attempts to make people believe that their doctor ordered the test for them. Our doctors are SO MUCH smarter than that and did NOT order these! Chances are that your doctor DID NOT order ColoGuard for you. If doubtful, call your doctor and ask. There are too many FALSE POSITIVES that are possible with this test. IT IS NOT ACCURATE. Even if it was, I refuse to be ordered about by some corporation that is primarily worried about making a MONEY GRAB. ColoGuard is NOT worried about your health, people. ColoGuard is a deceptive company, and I find them very harassing with their constant texts, phone calls, and such. I pretty much ignore them as much as possible. I have heard that if one takes the ColoGuard test and has a false positive result and then goes to have a colonoscopy that the colonoscopy is coded differently (different medical code can mean more $$$ out of your personal wallet) than if you just went to get the colonoscopy in the first place without the ColoGuard box test. Where the colonoscopy was "free" to the individual before the box test, it is not "free after the box test and the dollar amount is quite substantial. Personally, I prefer the colonoscopy due to the fact that the ColoGuard test has TOO many false positives! No pun intended, but I think ColoGuard is very "slimy" the way they conduct their business! I question their ethics (or should I say, lack of ethics).

Be aware that insurances wont often cover it even with an order by the doctor and you will receive a bill for $700 dollars from the lab just to see the word NEGATIVE

I would rate it a zero if I could. Both my wife and I, age 67 received in the mail something from them that listed,by name, our primary doctor saying he wanted us to screen for Colon Cancer. In addition, my wife said she got a text or email saying our kits were on the way. Seemed odd to me and this morning I verified my Doctor had no idea about this and said that as long as I had my scheduled colonoscopy, I could ignore this. He had nothing to do with it. I cannot STAND cheap and sneaky sales tactics and this is one in spades. I would avoid at all cost

Had to check my pkg room for something I was NOT expecting, wasted time doing so, to find out it was yet another money-grab/scam. Left untouched for UPS to ship back. Never asked for it. Then they send mail that went straight to the trash; had to block their phone number now 'cause they called today. Parasites! Invasion of privacy. Who thought this would be a remotely good idea?

Not even a 1 star rating, this is a commercial enterprise plain and simple. The sent me the over the top box of plastic, why not just send me a full plastic commode??? I thought, because of what their letter stated "A healthcare provider thought it was important for you to screen, and the ordered the Cologuard test for you." I thought my primary care physician had ordered this test. I talked to him on Monday and he said he did not order it and was satisfied with the result from the FIT test. This is past misleading, it is an out and out lie. I have requested they stop contacting me and to please, please not send me another box of plastic--it is absolutely ridiculous. I will be telling my family and friends to avoid Cologuard.

I did a colonoscopy in 2010 just because of my age .The prep was prescription pills and just about did me in. I vowed I would never do it again. I started doing Cologuard instead. On my 4th Cologuard I got a positive. Had to have a colonoscopy. Thank goodness it was normal. But the fear and worry for 3 months before I had the colonoscopy was awful. I was a nervous wreck. It really scared me. I wouldn’t trust Cologuard ever again. I think they are a FRAUDULENT COMPANY AND THAT TEST IS BOGUS. They are making a fortune from that test. Now when I see their ads on TV, I cringe and get mad. I think it’s terrible. They need to be shut down. You’re better off skipping the Cologuard and just having the colonoscopy.

I took one test that came out positive, to my surprise. I ordered a second one for $450 that also came out positive. Now I was getting worried. I booked a colonography for $950 and there was nothing wrong, I’m totally clean, not even a polyp. Needless to say, the Cologuard test doesn’t work. It gave me months of worry, for nothing. Stay away!!
