I did the same with Cologuard. My physician, whom I last saw over 2 years ago for this reason, and for falsifying on my health record things he never checked, must have signed me up without discussing with me. I will not willingly provide my DNA.
They SHOULD NOT have your SSN! Spouse's number got stolen from a doc office years ago, we're stuck with extra security measures constantly, especially at tax season. Clear out your files with every medical provider, ASAP!
Edit- it's absolutely illegal for anyone to use a SSN as an identifying number. They cannot argue, you can tell them you'll call the state board if you must.

problem is, i think every time a Dr orders blood work, 'they' can steal any or all of that blood they want for purposes we know nothing about.
Very true. Then they also have our name, age and SS#.

Physician’s have the SS# in office paperwork for medical insurance. I assume labs have access to medical records and insurance info. too for billing.
