To Receive a Cologuard Test, Follow these Easy Steps.

 

1. Talk to your Healthcare Provider

Start by taking to your healthcare provider. It's only available by prescription, so once your provider orders the kit, it's shipped right to your home.

2. Provide your Sample

Using the test is easy and requires only one stool sample. Cologuard uses advanced technology to find DNA and blood in your stool, which detects cells that could be associated with cancer or precancer.

3. Send in your Kit

Send your Cologuard kit to the lab with the prepaid and preaddressed UPS label provided. Once the kit has been returned and processed, the lab will contact your doctor who will then follow up with you to discuss the results.

How Often Can I Receive a Colorectal Screening?

Colorectal screening is a covered preventive service. Frequency of recommended screenings varies based on type of screening (every 3 years for Cologuard or every 10 years for in-person Colonoscopy). Ask your doctor if Cologuard is appropriate for your preventive screening.

What if results show DNA associated with a cancerous growth?

If you need a follow-up colonoscopy following the Cologuard screening, it will also be covered as a preventive benefit.
