Commonly Asked Questions
No problem. We need an address where you can receive the kit, but it doesn't need to be your permanent address.
No. You don't need to be at home at the pickup time, but leave your Cologuard box in a visible location, such as near your front door.
If a little urine gets into your collection container it should be okay, but too much could make the sample unusable. Recollect your sample if you think too much urine has gotten in. Some tips:
Empty your bladder before collecting your sample
Try moving the container a little farther back under your toilet seat
If you have blood in your stool due to actively bleeding hemorrhoids or menstruation, do not use Cologuard, as you may get a false positive result.
To collect your sample, you’ll need to sit on a toilet to have a bowel movement. You’ll also need to be able to open and close all bottles and containers. If you typically need help with these activities, you may need help while collecting the sample.
