My doctor ordered a Cologuard kit when I saw her on November 8, 2023. I have been waiting and waiting, and waiting for this kit to be mailed to me from Cologuard. While I am waiting, I receive aggressive, abusive, harrassing, and humiliating text messages from Cologuard. ( Tues. Nov. 14, 2023 @ 2:13 PM; Saturday November 25, 2023 @ 6:56 PM; Sunday November 26, 2023 @ 2:01 AM disturbing my sleep; Sunday November 26, 2023 while I was at Church; Saturday December 2, 2023 at 12:31 PM; and today @ 11:55 AM even though they have notice that it was mailed yesterday). I FINALLY received the box containing the test and I called the number because they said in their pamphlet that they can schedule UPS to come pick it up if I cannot get to UPS. So, I called and got some woman who did not want to be bothered with me and tried to pass me off to someone else. I hung up. I made a special difficult trip to UPS yesterday and dropped it off. I have the receipt from UPS. Cologuard has a record of this shipment. YET, I just received a text message today from Cologuard at 11:55 AM "Cologuard: Collect your sample in the next 5 days & return promptly. Call 24/7at 1-844-870-8870 for help." There is NO HELP at Cologuard! I know from experience! So I texted them that I already mailed it to them, to stop harassing me, about their employee who wouldn't help me, about how I am tired of their abuse, and they are not entitled to abuse me. I am reporting them for all the earthly hell they put me through from the harassment, bullying, and stalking they tormented me with. I did not deserve any of this. I do not work for them and cannot be held responsible if their employees do not ship a package out quickly. Nor can I be punished for the United States Postal Service taking its sweet old time delivering it to me. UPS dropped it off at the post office since I have a P.O. Box for my mail. I made every effort and I did not get the help I needed from Cologuard. All I got from Cologuard was text stalking and abuse. I have been crying since this latest text message. Why are they permitted to torment me? I need to find a way to block their text messages for my wellbeing. I want to warn people. If your doctor wants you to do a Cologuard test, consider other options because if you go with Cologuard, they will stalk, harass, humiliate, and bully you through text messages. They are relentless and cruel, and they do not care if a patient feels threatened and violated by them. They continue on with the assaults by texting or "blowing you off" when you call them. BUYER BEWARE!

False positive for cancer markers. Then you worry for weeks until you can get a colonoscopy. Turns out to be NOTHING. Many, many flase positives and false negatives. Don't trust your life to this inaccurate scam. Bite the bullet and get the colonoscopy. Except for fasting it really isn't that ad. Most hospitals now have you drink Miralax mixed with something. Miralax is tasteless After reading all I could find on Cologuard I would never take it again and would urge no one to trust their life to it.

Well. I am one of many who had a positive. I was scared, and did some reading online about complaints. MANY people have had a positive reading and later found out nothing was wrong (just some polyps). It's near Thanksgiving ...all the holidays I enjoy so much. Now I have this dark cloud hanging over my head until I can call my doctor on Monday and see if I can get a colonoscopy as soon as possible. As far as pricing, I was shocked to hear many insurances won't cover Cologuard. Now I have to also wait until Monday to call our insurance. NEVER again! UPDATE: So, I have my colonoscopy tomorrow. I was able to get in a week after the results from Cologuard. BUT this whole week has been a nightmare. I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about it. I will NEVER have a Cologuard test again. It is not worth all this anxiety. UPDATE: I had the colonoscopy the following week. 3-tiny little polyps...THAT IS ALL. Don't waste your time and money on this test. Have the colonoscopy. With Cologuard, there are too many false positives (and negatives). I worried myself sick for a week...and for what!!! NEVER AGAIN. This should be taken off the market.

twice I have called the cologuard phone number due to set up shipping and second time to report that UPS had not picked up package per time I was given...both times the phone person was so pleasant and helpful...in addition they kept me updated frequently as to the progress of their work...this I appreciated this so much...

Cologuard is not cover by insurnace and cost $681. The result is also not accurate and they keeps on calling you and leaving messages. They do not inform you beofre hand how much it will cost. Avoid it at all cost. Unable to understand why the Dr would recommend something which is so expensive, not accurate, and not cover by insurance.

The test, the billing, the company are all crappy. I've used other brands of the same basic test and they're much better. Cologuard makes you carry a box of your s*$t into the shipping drop-off place. How fun is that. That makes it not all all private either. The test is hugely wasteful of materials. Worse than that they try to grab a crapload of money for the fun of dealing with this. Well, they've gotta pay for those damn ads on tv somehow. If you have a choice go with any other brand, avoid Cologuard.

BEFORE I did the Cologuard test, I CONFIRMED with Blue Shield of California by recorded phone call that the test would be covered, because I did not want to poop in a can without being sure my insurance would cover it. The Blue Shield rep was very nice, researched my question for several minutes while I waited on hold, and told me that Exact Sciences (makers of the Cologuard test) is an approved provider and that the test would be covered, because it was part of my annual preventive care visit and because I had not had any other colorectal cancer screening this year. She said she would put a note in my account about this conversation, and she gave me a reference number for the phone call. She said that if I have any problems with billing that I could refer to this conversation. After all this, Blue Shield ended up denying to pay for the test, $681.00, by stating that Exact Sciences is an out-of-state provider. BE WARNED that no matter what your insurance company tells you before you do the Cologuard test, you could end up being billed for it anyway. Next time, I'll stick to the poop-on-card test, because if that kind of test positive, I'll need a colonoscopy anyway, just the same as with the Cologuard test, but I won't be out an extra $681.00 that the Cologuard test costs. Seriously, the Cologuard test is fancy-shmancy, but you'll end up with the same outcome if you get a positive or questionable result = a colonoscopy. Note that ". . . the Cologuard test is not recommended by GCSA physicians as a replacement for a colonoscopy." So why risk $681.00 unnecessarily? You don't seem to gain anything worth $681.00 with a Cologuard test over an ordinary, simple, much cheaper poop-on-card occult blood test.

Cologuard Customer Service people are down right awful. They lie, misinform and generally rude. The customer service & supervisors also do not listen to the patient to understand their concerns. I have had to repeat myself multiple times to get my point across. It is such a frustrating company to deal with that the regular colonoscopy would be easier to go thru.
