ColoGuard Avaliações 

Cologuard is the most fraudulent company that I have ever experienced. Many, many months ago the nurse at my doctor's office tokd me that they could order an at home colon test, but I didnt hear anything else about it. Then months later I started getting persistant emails and phone calls from Cologuard. They told me that my doctor had ordered the test for me (which made it seem that my insurance was going to pay for it). I ignored the calls and texts because I couldn't figure out how it had taken so many months from the time the nurse told me they could order a test and when I started receiving calls and texts from Cologuard). Finally they sent an email to me saying that the test was on its way to me. BUT that message was sent to an email address that I had not given to them, and one that my doctors office doesn't even have on file!!! The test did arrive in the mail and I did the test, sent it back, got the results weeks later and was told that my doctor would get a copy of the results. I thought I was done with company, but today I got a bill for over $600. This Cologuard company is so very pushy and annoying and has shown me that they will even find ways to contact you that you are not expecting. This company should be put out of business.

Test ordered by my doctor. Turns out that they are out of network and not accepted by insurance. They never informed me of that before conducting the test. They keep hounding me for almost $700. They are extremely rude when you call to dispute this fraudulent charge. They actually said that they don't have time to check if your insurance covers or not. This is absolute nonsense, it is your job. They are a horrible company in my opinion. They don't care about people or doing things correctly. They just want money from you.

Had a false positive had to be re tested by gi doctors and had no problems never will cologuard again.

If you are conscientious and follow all the instructions, write clearly and drop off the sample the same day, you will get accurate results. In my case I avoided having to go for a colonoscopy twice, as I used it 3 years ago as well. It is quite expensive but the Medicare advantage paid for the entire amount.

Just get a colonoscopy and stop wasting time. Mine came back positive so I had to go for a colonoscopy. While waiting to be put to sleep the doctor was talking to the anesthesiologist. The doctor said 96% percent of the positive test results where false positive for cancer. So 4% of positive results are true. I did have some pylops and they were removed but no cancer. I will never do that test again. Three weeks of waiting thinking the worst for nothing. Yes the colonoscopy is a little bit of a pain prep wise but other than that I went to sleep and woke up and done.

Cologuard test kit arrived quickly as promised. First sample was rejected, second sample was delayed by UPS and rejected, third sample was rejected for technical issues. Very poor testing procedure- requires sample to be completed on a weekday because shipping delays cause sample to be rejected. Sample must be returned via UPS next day air to Wisconsin in good condition to be tested.

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

My physician ordered Cologuard on 4/1. I know it was ordered because I received a follow up text from Cologuard the same day about my physician's order. By the 12th, I still had not received my kit or had even heard anything from Cologuard as to when to expect my kit. I had to call to follow up. The customer service rep said that I should call my doctor's office and tell them to send in 2 different ICD-10 diagnosis codes to their company. She claimed the delay was because the correct codes weren't sent. I called my doctor's office on the 12th and relayed the message. My doctor's office stated they would send the codes I gave them. I followed up with my doctor's office to make sure the diagnosis codes were indeed sent. They were. Here it is, 4/27, and still no Cologuard. I have had to resort to see a Gastroenterologist instead. This has been terrible service from Cologuard, leaving me hanging from the start as to why I was not getting my kit. Then, leaving it to me to be a messenger to my doctor's office. That should be their job. I am no longer interested in Cologuard for future health means, and I will discourage anyone who inquires me about the service.

Cologuard gave me a false positive. I thought my insurance would cover it but I received a bill for over $600. I asked my doctor and she said cologuard is supposed to make sure your insurance pays for it or gives you options. I never received any options and I was forced to pay. I am happy on one front and that they were wrong.

I am a healthy fifty-something woman who didn't have any colo-rectal issues, never had a colonoscopy, and didn't want one. But my doctor recommended ColoGuard, saying it was for people like me, easy and should be covered by insurance, so I tried it. BIG mistake. The test was supposedly positive and I was charged $681 by Exact Sciences, when I thought it was covered by insurance. I then had to wait four months to get a colonoscopy and was terrified I had colon cancer. Finally got a colonoscopy and discovered I had a totally clean colon, not even a polyp. But because of the inaccurate ColoGuard test, I got charged $1000 for what should have been covered by insurance -- in addition to the $681 I had to pay Exact Sciences. I have since heard from several other people who had the same thing happen to them. Moral of the story: Do NOT use ColoGuard!

Like others have said,”Dont use Cologuard”. Error rate is high and it uses up your covered screening. So when i got that false positive and had to go for a real colonoscopy (which was negative and no polyps), i ended up paying out of pocket. Cologuard should pay for this! Just get the colonoscopy……unless you live in Canada where the stool test they use is 98% accurate.

My doctor asked if I wanted a colonoscopy, and a cologuard as an option. I did not check my insurance like I should have. I checked positive. And now I need a colonoscopy. My insurance will only cover 85% of the colonoscopy now ,where as it would have covered 100% for the colonoscopy if I did not have a cologuard. I am disappointed with my doctor for not giving me a heads up on this insurance issue. Total cost approx. Will be $2,500.for a colonoscopy because my deductible has not been made. Will not use colagard ever again.

Due to Covid, I decided to do this test rather than go into a doctor's office. The test came back positive, which terrified me! With Covid, I had to wait 7 months to get an appointment anywhere to get a colonoscopy, even though I told every doctor my test was positive (they all said "those test aren't even accurate). I finally got a colonoscopy, and the results were negative. I didn't even have any polyps. This test terrified me and it was completely inaccurate. DON"T BUY THIS...JUST GET A COLONOSCOPY!
