cost of cologuard versus colonoscopy
Cologuard costs $599 versus about $25 for current stool blood tests, and âyou donât know whether you need to take it every year â intervals have not been tested,â Kramer said.
If you have the DNA test every three years, it would be $1,800 â about the cost of a colonoscopy, which is good for 10 years unless polyps are found, he said. Medicare covers the new test, but private insurers arenât covering it yet.
