I am a 47 year old man in good shape, exercise regularly and watch my diet. Upon my yearly physical my Dr. recommended a colon screen. Reluctantly I agreed to a Cologuard test. The test came back positive. Being in the shape I am in I immediately started on the defensive. I started looking for reasons to believe I was not positive, it was the accuracy of the test, I questioned. I took solace in reading all the false positive reviews, as it put me in a comfortable mindset, after all, it couldn't happen to me?! So 3 weeks after the Cologuard test came back, I went had my colonoscopy performed. Coming out of the procedure I was informed of 3 polyps, and one mass thought to be cancerous. My polyps were 2CM, 1CM, 1CM, and my rectal mass was 1.4CM. My pathology report came back today stating all polyps were negative for cancer, and the mass is precancerous. We will perform additional steps to remove the mass completely. Had I waited, or not taken the tests, and precautions my result will have been deadly. If there are false positives, so be it. It's a sensitive test. Better safe than sorry. IMO looking back I wish I would have scheduled the colonoscopy rather than being frightened for three weeks

Cologuard test came back positive: had a colonoscopy and it showed a large mass in my colon. The mass was not cancerous yet. Another year or so, I'd be facing a cancer diagnosis. I wasn't due for colonoscopy for another 6 years!!!! I'm so grateful for this company... I wish I could find an email to thank them...

Nice to state it to the world when you have "Cologuard testing kit" on the outside box and/or label even if it is written small along with your huge logo splashing around in blue. Ever hear of "Return to Sender"?

They send you a bill for the full amount and do not bill insurance. They do this so they get more money. I was told "We billed your insurance and they don't cover it ($600+)." I said that's interesting. How did you bill them? I have not given you my insurance information yet. Which I then did. Then I got a bill a month later saying insurance declined it. Strange, it should have been covered. I called my insurance. The claim had been submitted incorrectly. I called Cologuard and they said they could not resubmit even though they did it wrong. It was not until I had a conference call with my insurance co (Aetna) and Cologuard that they agreed to send it in again. Insurance will limit the amount they get paid is why they want to bill old people directly and hope they cough up the dough. It's very sketchy.

After receiving my Cologuard kit I received repeated calls and texts none of which I answered as hard to tell if they were all legit as they came from different numbers from different area codes. All those calls were unnecessary and I dont need text messages saying complete in the next 48 hours when Im on vacation. I followed the directions EXACTLY and sent it back in. It came in a very large box which seemed ridiculous it was so big w their logo all over it . It was suppose to be sent back in thru UPS within 48 hours. I returned mine in less then 24 hours. I then checked on line a week later and it said I had never been sent the kit . I contact Cologuard and I'm told they cd not process it. I ask why no reason given but they could send me another kit. It appears its some error on their part. They just tell me they will notify my healthcare provider when I told them not to bother sending me another kit. Also a friend who used Cologuard just had a false positive so I'm not sure why this test is worth all the bother especially when they cant even process my kit after all the trouble I went through. I wont be using them again if this is how they do business

Absolutely terrible!! False positive caused 2 months of anxiety. Colonoscopy perfect, THANK GOD !!! Had to wait 2 months for colonoscopy. Scared to death for 2 months due to a positive Cologuard test. Very thankful and relieved that it was a false positive. Don't put yourself through his. Just get the colonoscopy.

I realize tests like this are not the same as an actual colonoscopy, but I knew that going in. I went to my in network doctor who gave the order for this. I sent in my sample but had NO IDEA I should have called my insurance, BCBS Anthem, to ask if the lab, Exact Science, was in network too. It was not. As such, I lost two appeals and received a bill for $681!!! Obviously, this is an issue as Cologard has a letter you can fill, print and send to your insurance for appeals. Wish I had known that before I exhausted my appeals, maybe it would have helped.

You should allow consumers to give Cologuard a zero or negative # rating IMO! Before I obtained my cologuard sample, I got annoying texts and emails daily! Per directions I got the sample, prepared sample per package directions and within 3 hours my package was at UPS for delivery to Cologuard. Now 7 days later I get a phone call from Cologuard and I find the my sample has NOT been tested yet! Supposedly they could not read the dates I printed! WHY THE HELL do consumers have to RUSH within hours to get sample to UPS to get sample sent for next day delivery BUT Cologuard SITS IN IT FOR 6 Days! NEVER
