8% false negative rate for cologuard
If you're okay with those odds of possibly missing colon cancer, go for it, but a colonoscopy is significantly more reliable.

Gotcha. Unfortunately some people are very reluctant to get a colonoscopy so this we serve as a option for those who wouldn’t never get a one at all .... but isn’t as good.

That and some insurance counts the cologuard as your screening test and make you pay for a follow up diagnostic colon out of pocket if cologuard comes back positive. Enjoy getting that bill and having to have the colonoscopy anyway.

The Cologuard is recommended every 2 years, colonoscopy every 5 years. Colonoscopy requires full anesthesia, is MUCHO more invasive and MUCHO more expensive. Cologuard, in effect, is much more reliable and effective for people at low risk, due to the frequency and virtually zero risk.
You can thank the USA's outstanding medical system for this new type of test. Free market in medicine is where innovative and effective medical procedures are born.
