Hello, I am a 73 years old female. I received a package from Exact Sciences March 30, 2025 which was ordered by my Primary doctor (PCP). I followed the instructions and returned the sample back to Exact Science 2 days later. A month later, I started receiving invoices from Exact Science to pay $254.44. I was unpleasantly surprised because I never had to pay anything for my prior stool tests. I called them and asked for an explanation, they assured me that my insurance will cover all of it. But the invoices kept coming, showing they were paid by my insurance $117.22 but the remaining balance was my responsibility. I called my insurance company and made an appeal. I also called my PCP and they informed me that the provide: Exact Science was aware of my insurance coverage and they were supposed to/and obligated to call or write to me about the co-pay of $254.44 before sending the test. That they needed to obtain my agreement before sending the test kit and processing it. Facts are: Exact Science NEVER CALLED OR WROTE TO ME ABOUT THE CO-PAY. I did not give EXACT SCIENCE a permission, approval they refuse to fix their mistake: I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A CHARGE, NOR DID I AGREED TO PAY THE CO-PAY. THERE WAS NO INFORMATION IN THE TEST KIT MENTIONING THAT THERE IS AN OUT OF POCKET CHARGE HAD I KNOWN THERE IS A CHARGE, I WOULD HAVE NOT ACCEPTED THE TEST KIT My previous stool test kits were always free of charge as it is a preventative health measure for my age. Please help me and advise how I should handle this situation.Business Response

Thank you for your review. Under the *************** Act, Cologuard should be covered with no copays or deductibles for eligible patients because it is one of the seven colorectal cancer screening methods recommended by the United States ******************* Task Force. Exceptions for coverage may apply; only the insurer can confirm how Cologuard would be covered. We have resources available at *************************************************************** to help with the appeals process if a claim has been processed incorrectly.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.This priovider is in violation of "The No Surprises Act" which protects consumers from unexpected bills imposed by providers who bill consumers without advanced notification and their consent to pay the co-pay. The No Surprises Act is a federal law ( as well as States law) that went into effect on January 1, 2022. I was not notified of charges and didn't agree to pay upfront due to provider's lack of transparancy.
Exact Science needs to :
1. Stop sending invoices, drop the charges, they already collected money from my ********* and my insurance company.
2. Publicly apologize to me for the numerous hours and stress that I went through regarding this matter.

My dispute for my surprise billing by Exact Science has not been resolved. They have not offered any reasonable resolution.
Needless to say,
I did not order the test
I was not notified about the cost
I did not sign and provide informed consent for the test or for any associated costsThe No Surprise Act-2022 protects Consumers/Patients from providers billing for their services/products (out of network) without patients knowledge/consent.
Ms. ***** has requested my signed HIPPA form in order to reply to my dispute. I dont feel comfortable revealing my medical information unless there is a legal reason.
I expect the billing activities for this unordered test to be dropped and removed from my account.I also expect your written reply within 30 days.

This is the second time within my household that an incentive offer from Cologuard Exact Sciences was received dated weeks before it was delivered, leaving only ***** hours to complete and have delivered to their lab a stool test kit. This incentive offer letter I received (see attachment) is dated 5/22/2025. I received this letter in the mail on the evening of 6/17/2025. According to the letter, in order to receive the $25 gift card they needed to receive my stool collection kit within the next 2 days. The previous incentive letter was sent to my husband dated a full month prior to him receiving it. The day he received it in the mail was the day AFTER they required the stool collection kit be delivered to them. We have never had delivery issues with our **** mail, which is delivered to a locked key box. Once may be a fluke, but twice - once each for two separate individuals - makes it seem nefarious and disingenuous. Possibly, an intentional act to prevent from having to fulfill the ******** they somehow benefit from withholding these gift cards? Or, with this practice on a larger scale perhaps they're saving money by not fulfilling these offers? Or, is the practice of mailing these weeks after their date an internal problem they have yet to address?My concern is their business practices around the incentive offers. $25 may be a small amount but it quickly adds up over the large customer base they are serving. This seems shady.Business Response

We are in receipt of the complaint submitted with an ID of ********.
Below are general considerations that we can share about the incentive offer. Please be aware we cannot disclose any patient-specific information in accordance with the **************** Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and its implementing regulations.
If the sample is returned by the deadline stated in the offer letter, it typically takes 6 to 8 weeks after the kit was returned for a digital prepaid card to be sent via text or for a physical prepaid card to be mailed. If the kit has been returned within this time frame please call our offices for further assistance.
Our ******************** is available 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, 7 days a week. at ************. ************* will be able to review the account and take the necessary actions to rectify the situation.

This company has continued to call, email, and send unwanted mail to me after I have rejected their offer of service and sent an unwanted test kit that was mailed to me back to them as returned mail. I have asked this company to stop soliciting me for business, but the unwanted communication has not ceased. It has become annoying and I feel that this is borderline harassment.Business Response

We are in receipt of the complaint submitted with an ID of ********. We take all feedback seriously. Although we cannot disclose any patient information pursuant to the **************** Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations (HIPAA), we can offer general information to resolve the matter.
Currently, the test can only be ordered for individuals with a prescription from a physician. Understanding the importance of preventive care, many payers have screening initiatives. Therefore, it is not uncommon for a provider within the payers network to facilitate ordering. There should be zero cost to the patient as a health plan member benefit. Please note that if there is no interest in using the test, a test kit can be recycled at no cost to the individual and a claim will not be sent to the insurer.

My PCP did not order the test, nor did any of my doctors. Please provide the name of the doctor requesting this test. It can be emailed or texted directly to me. I am also deeply concerned about the amount of personal information that has been provided to this company. Additionally, the number of texts that I have received have become increasingly aggressive from "reminders" to "as soon as possible," to "this week" and finally "immediately". I suggest that the one-way communications to me from the company regarding awaiting test results cease. I will not be participating.

I called the phone number for the customer service and was asked for a lot of private information. While I did enter my birthdate, I stopped when asked for more information.

How empowering it must be to simply "declare a matter resolved" without resolving. While I do not accept the responses, I can see that it's clearly a lost cause to try and pursue this. I do send prayers that those contacted by this company receive accurate diagnoses and treatment for people that need it, and for those who don't, that they are not taken advantage of. Mental and health care (and integrity to provide such) are always of utmost importance.

Exact Sciences is the supplier of the medical test named Cologuard. They advertise and promote the test nationally via direct mail and social media. I responded to an offer that arrived by mail. The test kit was received in the last week of February 2025. There was no mention of costs or fees associated with the test and the supplier asked if I had medical insurance. I supplied them with my insurance company and after a few weeks , was advised that I was "approved". I returned the test as instructed and received the test results. Some weeks later, an invoice for $681. arrived in the ******* no time, was I instructed of any costs, only that my medical insurance had approved the test.This is a perfect example of deceptive marketing . Exact Sciences does not mention any fees for the test with the hope a client will expect their insurance company will pay. They are fond of late fees and the ability to damage credit history as well.Business Response

My husband and I were sent colaguard kits that we not only didn't ask for but did not want. I have no idea why we got them. Our physician didnt order them nor did we. Now I am getting daily phone calls from this company and when I ask them to stop I'm told they need to transfer me to a supervisor who doesn't pick up the phone to do so.

Cologuard sent a kit to me without my knowledge, approval or previous contact and now they refuse to pick it up. I did not consent to a kit. I went to a doctor for a knee injury and at the end of appt. he mentioned unrelated cologuard which was disturbing and I made it clear I was not interested and that my oncologist said not to do these tests and I confirmed not interested. I did not give him any permission, approval or interest in having a kit ordered. The fact that cologuard sent a kit without getting my approval, contact, or agreement is extremely unethical and now they refuse to fix their mistake. *** is picking this package up and returning it to them. I want to have it confirmed that they will not make the mistake of being any more rude and billing me for something I never instigated, requested, or agreed to, to anyone!Business Response

BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
