Expert Opinion
Never share personal details until you confirm the caller’s identity. Most calls from the Cologuard number are automated attempts to verify a recent colon‑cancer screening order, and they often use recorded voices that ask for a simple “yes” or “no.” Treat any request for birth date, Social Security number, or payment information as suspicious unless you call the provider’s official line yourself. Block the number on your phone and report it to your carrier if it persists. Keep a log of the call time, script, and any text messages; this helps your doctor’s office and regulators track potential abuse. Finally, enable two‑factor authentication on any portal linked to the test to protect personal data.

I was initially confused by the caller's question, but since my doctor had ordered a Cologuard test two days prior, I assumed it was legitimate, however, when they requested my birthdate to verify my identity, I became suspicious and ended the call, blocking the number.

My wife, Melissa, had previously received a package from ColonGuard, so when they called, it seemed legitimate, as they were following up on their colon screening service, which involves a doctor performing a scope examination.

The connection was poor, with frequent interruptions.
After receiving a call from this number, I was asked to confirm my identity, which I did, but when they requested permission to proceed, I declined and ended the call. Interestingly, my doctor had recently ordered a Cologard, and I also received a text from a different number. It's unclear why I'm being contacted by this number.

Although I confirmed this number belongs to Cologuard, I was unaware of the call and declined to provide the requested information, as I require verification through my PC for such matters.

It's likely a legitimate call, but I've asked my doctor to refrain from discussing this topic during our office visits because I'm unconvinced of the effectiveness of colonoscopies in detecting cancer, and now Cigna HealthSpring insurance company is harassing me with repeated calls and messages
