The test is done by a company called Exact Sciences. They developed it working with Mayo Clinic. Medicare will cover it. Most insurance companies not yet unless as a Medicare supplement, but all will probably cover it by the end of the year. Just Google "cologuard" and it will come up. Their website has a list of doctors who will prescribe it. I went through the prep for a colonoscopy about 8 years ago and didn't like it. The description in the opening post is pretty accurate. Funny now, but not at the time.
