Medical Insurance
Insurance Coverage
Cologuard® is a non-invasive colon cancer screening test for adults 50 years or older who are at average risk for colon cancer. It is important to understand that Cologuard® detects cancerous cells but does not provide any preventive measures such as polyp detection that could progress into cancer over time. Cologuard® uses advanced technology to find altered DNA from abnormal cells in the colon, which could be associated with cancer or pre-cancer and does not require any special preparation. To complete the test your provider will send you home with a Cologuard® testing kit where you collect a single stool sample and mail it to a lab using a pre-paid envelope for testing. Once completed, your provider will contact you to discuss the results.
Finally, certain plans will fully pay for the clinical examination by a provider, but may apply a deductible for routine laboratory and radiology services. Thus, the best way to prevent surprises is to be well informed about your coverage prior to your appointment.
