I just received a positive result from a Cologuard test. I had no symptoms, but my doctor advised I do a screening since my last colonoscopy was 15 years ago, at age 50. Just learned that my insurance will only cover one preventative screening test per year, so now I have to pay a $1000 deductable and 20% co-pay for the "diagnostic" colonoscopy. I really wish my doctor had informed me of this before saying Cologuard was fine for me to do. I take a lot of ibuprofen for arthritis, so I suspect that is the reason for any blood found, but guess I'll find out soon enough. Sometimes I think all the majority of the screening tests we have to do just result in more unnecessary tests and more money for doctors. I know they help some detect cancer early but for most, they do not.
