Does ColonCancerCheck seek participant consent before disclosing the participants FOBT results to his or her health care provider?
Yes. ColonCancerCheck generally takes a consent-based approach to the disclosure of these results to health care providers, despite the fact that it is authorized by law to make such disclosures without consent. For example, where an unattached participant receives a positive FOBT result and requires a referral for a colonoscopy, ColonCancerCheck obtains the unattached participants oral consent before disclosing the participants results and contact information to the provider providing follow-up care.
