US price context

Bought one by one at US cash-pay marketplaces, the tests we could price list at about US$2,057–2,882 for a woman (44 of 44 tests) and US$2,075–2,910 for a man (44 of 44 tests) (MDsave, Quest and others; checked 2026-10-11).

How we priced it

A panel counts once however many of its tests the package lists. A test for one sex only is counted only for that sex. Tests we could not price are left out, so this is not what a US checkup would cost. Prices marked "rough" come from a single reseller or are extrapolated from a similar test.

Radiation from this package's imaging

About 2.2 mSv from the tests we could identify, a typical adult dose for these exams: roughly 8 months of natural background radiation (about 3 mSv a year, US average).

This package also lists 8 items we have not matched to a test; if any of them is an X-ray, CT or PET scan, the total is higher.

  • Abdominal X-ray (KUB) · about 0.7 mSv
  • Bone density (DXA) · about less than 0.01 mSv
  • Chest X-ray · about 0.1 mSv
  • Spine X-ray · about 1.4 mSv

Typical doses from published references (RadiologyInfo.org ↗, Mettler et al. 2008 ↗); the actual dose depends on the scanner and protocol. Ask the center for its own figure.

What US screening guidelines say

The US Preventive Services Task Force is an independent US panel whose recommendations cover people without symptoms. Shown for comparison; it is not advice for you.

What US screening guidelines say about 20 of these tests
Hepatitis C antibody
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening all adults aged 18 to 79 years for hepatitis C virus infection. (2020) · USPSTF ↗
Hearing test
Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of screening for hearing loss in adults 50 years or older. (2021) · USPSTF ↗
Blood pressure
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening for hypertension in adults 18 years or older with office blood pressure measurement, confirmed with measurement outside the clinical setting before starting treatment. (2021) · USPSTF ↗
Bone density (DXA)
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening for osteoporosis with bone density testing in postmenopausal women younger than 65 years who are at increased risk, based on a clinical risk-assessment tool. (2025) · USPSTF ↗
Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of screening for osteoporosis in men. (2025) · USPSTF ↗
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening for osteoporosis with bone density testing in women 65 years or older. (2025) · USPSTF ↗
CA-125
Recommended against (grade D)The USPSTF recommends against screening for ovarian cancer in asymptomatic women, including with the CA-125 blood test. (2018) · USPSTF ↗ Note: Same D-grade recommendation covers CA-125 and transvaginal/pelvic ultrasound; see pelvic_ultrasound.
CA 19-9
Recommended against (grade D)The USPSTF recommends against screening for pancreatic cancer in asymptomatic average-risk adults. (2019) · USPSTF ↗ Note: The recommendation states there are currently no accurate, validated biomarkers for early detection of pancreatic cancer and that the USPSTF does not recommend screening the general population by any method; it does not name CA 19-9. The D grade applies to screening this population by any method, not to CA 19-9 as a separately graded test. It does not apply to people at high risk because of an inherited genetic syndrome or familial pancreatic cancer.
Fasting glucose
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, including with a fasting plasma glucose test, in adults aged 35 to 70 years who have overweight or obesity. (2021) · USPSTF ↗ Note: Same recommendation names fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c and the oral glucose tolerance test as acceptable screening tests. The USPSTF suggests clinicians consider screening at an earlier age in groups with higher diabetes prevalence, including Asian American persons, and at a lower BMI (23 or higher) in Asian American persons.
Hemoglobin A1c
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, including with a hemoglobin A1c test, in adults aged 35 to 70 years who have overweight or obesity. (2021) · USPSTF ↗ Note: Same recommendation names fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c and the oral glucose tolerance test as acceptable screening tests. The USPSTF suggests clinicians consider screening at an earlier age in groups with higher diabetes prevalence, including Asian American persons, and at a lower BMI (23 or higher) in Asian American persons.
Hepatitis B surface antigen
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening for hepatitis B virus infection, with an HBsAg test followed by confirmatory testing, in adolescents and adults at increased risk for infection. (2020) · USPSTF ↗ Note: Risk groups include people born in a country with HBV prevalence of 2% or more, US-born people not vaccinated as infants whose parents were born in regions with very high HBV prevalence (8% or more), people with HIV, people who inject drugs, men who have sex with men, and household or sexual contacts of someone with HBV. The recommendation names regions by prevalence, not countries.
HDL cholesterol
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends that clinicians prescribe a statin for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease for adults aged 40 to 75 years who have 1 or more cardiovascular risk factors and an estimated 10-year cardiovascular risk of 10% or greater. (2022) · USPSTF ↗ Note: This grade is for starting a statin, not for the cholesterol test; the USPSTF does not grade cholesterol testing on its own. The USPSTF says the ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations may be used to estimate 10-year risk; per the 2013 ACC/AHA risk-assessment guideline, those equations use total and HDL cholesterol as inputs. The statement does not apply to adults with LDL cholesterol above 190 mg/dL or known familial hypercholesterolemia.
Selective (grade C)The USPSTF recommends that clinicians selectively offer a statin for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease for adults aged 40 to 75 years who have 1 or more cardiovascular risk factors and an estimated 10-year cardiovascular risk of 7.5% to less than 10%. (2022) · USPSTF ↗ Note: This grade is for starting a statin, not for the cholesterol test; the USPSTF does not grade cholesterol testing on its own. The USPSTF says the ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations may be used to estimate 10-year risk; per the 2013 ACC/AHA risk-assessment guideline, those equations use total and HDL cholesterol as inputs. The statement does not apply to adults with LDL cholesterol above 190 mg/dL or known familial hypercholesterolemia.
Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of starting a statin for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in adults 76 years or older. (2022) · USPSTF ↗ Note: This grade is for starting a statin, not for the cholesterol test; the USPSTF does not grade cholesterol testing on its own. The USPSTF says the ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations may be used to estimate 10-year risk; per the 2013 ACC/AHA risk-assessment guideline, those equations use total and HDL cholesterol as inputs. The statement does not apply to adults with LDL cholesterol above 190 mg/dL or known familial hypercholesterolemia.
Height, weight and BMI
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends that clinicians offer or refer adults with a body mass index of 30 or higher to intensive, multicomponent behavioral weight-loss interventions. (2018; an update is in progress) · USPSTF ↗ Note: The grade applies to offering or referring adults with a BMI of 30 or higher to intensive behavioral weight-loss programs, not to measuring height, weight or BMI; the USPSTF says screening for obesity is now part of routine clinical practice and was not a focus of its review. The USPSTF lists an update in progress, folded into a combined topic on healthy diet, physical activity and weight loss to prevent cardiovascular disease; the 2018 statement remains the current final recommendation as of 2026-09-25.
High-sensitivity CRP
Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of adding high-sensitivity CRP to traditional risk assessment for cardiovascular disease in asymptomatic adults. (2018) · USPSTF ↗ Note: Same recommendation covers ABI, high-sensitivity CRP and coronary artery calcium score together; see the other two test rows. The USPSTF lists an update in progress for this statement, but the key questions in its research plan cover coronary artery calcium scoring only, not hs-CRP.
Intraocular pressure
Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of screening for primary open-angle glaucoma in adults. (2022) · USPSTF ↗ Note: Same I-statement covers tonometry (intraocular pressure), optic-nerve/fundus imaging and OCT as candidate glaucoma-screening methods.
PSA
Selective (grade C)The USPSTF says the decision to undergo periodic PSA-based screening for prostate cancer should be an individual one for men aged 55 to 69 years. (2018; an update is in progress) · USPSTF ↗ Note: The USPSTF lists an update of this topic as in progress; the 2018 statement remains the current final recommendation as of 2026-09-25.
Recommended against (grade D)The USPSTF recommends against PSA-based screening for prostate cancer in men 70 years or older. (2018; an update is in progress) · USPSTF ↗ Note: The USPSTF lists an update of this topic as in progress; the 2018 statement remains the current final recommendation as of 2026-09-25.
Resting ECG
Recommended against (grade D)The USPSTF recommends against screening with resting or exercise ECG to prevent cardiovascular disease events in asymptomatic adults at low risk of CVD events. (2018) · USPSTF ↗
Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of screening with resting or exercise ECG to prevent cardiovascular disease events in adults at intermediate or high risk of CVD events. (2018) · USPSTF ↗
Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of screening for atrial fibrillation with ECG in adults 50 years or older. (2022) · USPSTF ↗
Stool occult blood (FIT)
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening for colorectal cancer in adults aged 45 to 49 years, including with an annual stool test for occult blood (FIT or high-sensitivity gFOBT). (2021) · USPSTF ↗ Note: Applies to asymptomatic adults at average risk of colorectal cancer: no prior colorectal cancer, adenomatous polyps or inflammatory bowel disease, and no personal diagnosis or family history of a known genetic disorder that carries a high lifetime risk, such as Lynch syndrome or familial adenomatous polyposis.
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening for colorectal cancer in all adults aged 50 to 75 years, including with an annual stool test for occult blood (FIT or high-sensitivity gFOBT). (2021) · USPSTF ↗ Note: Applies to asymptomatic adults at average risk of colorectal cancer: no prior colorectal cancer, adenomatous polyps or inflammatory bowel disease, and no personal diagnosis or family history of a known genetic disorder that carries a high lifetime risk, such as Lynch syndrome or familial adenomatous polyposis.
Selective (grade C)The USPSTF recommends that clinicians selectively offer colorectal cancer screening, including with an annual stool test for occult blood (FIT or high-sensitivity gFOBT), to adults aged 76 to 85 years based on overall health, prior screening history and the patient's preferences. (2021) · USPSTF ↗ Note: Grade C reflects an individual decision rather than a blanket recommendation for or against. Applies to asymptomatic adults at average risk of colorectal cancer: no prior colorectal cancer, adenomatous polyps or inflammatory bowel disease, and no personal diagnosis or family history of a known genetic disorder that carries a high lifetime risk, such as Lynch syndrome or familial adenomatous polyposis.
Total cholesterol
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends that clinicians prescribe a statin for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease for adults aged 40 to 75 years who have 1 or more cardiovascular risk factors and an estimated 10-year cardiovascular risk of 10% or greater.

General preparation notes for 10 tests in this package

This is general information about how the exam is usually done, not medical advice for you or your family member. Requirements vary by center and by individual health history — always follow the center's own instructions and your own doctor's guidance, especially for any medicine change.

Total cholesterol

Fasting for 9 to 12 hours (no food or drink except plain water) is often requested, so the test is often done in the morning.

Mention when booking: Confirm with the center whether your test needs fasting; if you take insulin or other diabetes medicine, ask the prescribing doctor how to manage it while fasting.

Triglycerides

Fasting for 9 to 12 hours (no food or drink except plain water) is often requested.

Mention when booking: Confirm with the center whether your test needs fasting; if you take insulin or other diabetes medicine, ask the prescribing doctor how to manage it while fasting.

Fasting glucose

Usually needs at least 8 hours without food or drink except water beforehand.

Mention when booking: If you take insulin or other diabetes medicine, ask the prescribing doctor how to manage it while fasting, and mention it to the center.

Stool occult blood (FIT)

Guaiac-based kits usually ask you to avoid red meat, NSAIDs and more than 250mg of vitamin C for a few days beforehand; FIT kits usually need no diet change.

Mention when booking: Tell the center which kit you were given, and ask the prescribing doctor before stopping aspirin taken for the heart.

Stool routine and parasites

Usually needs no special preparation; several samples on different days are often requested, since parasites don't show up daily. The stool shouldn't mix with urine, toilet paper or toilet water.

Mention when booking: Ask how and when to return the samples, especially if you are collecting over several days.

Urinalysis

Usually needs a clean-catch (midstream) sample; some tests instead ask you to collect all urine passed over 24 hours.

Mention when booking: Ask which specific urine test your provider ordered, since collection instructions vary by test.

Chest X-ray

Usually needs no fasting; you remove jewelry, metal objects and sometimes clothing above the waist for a hospital gown.

Mention when booking: Tell the center if you are, or might be, pregnant.

Abdominal ultrasound

Usually needs about 6 hours without food beforehand; clear fluids other than milk or fizzy drinks are commonly still allowed. Loose, comfortable clothing is easiest.

Mention when booking: Mention if you have type 1 diabetes, so the center can offer an early appointment time.

Bone density (DXA)

Usually asks that you skip calcium supplements for 24 hours beforehand. Avoid clothing with metal zippers or buttons, and remove jewelry.

Mention when booking: Mention any recent barium exam or CT/nuclear-medicine contrast, and whether pregnancy is possible.

Hearing test

Usually needs no special preparation; expect to listen for tones or words through headphones, and sometimes a small probe checks how the eardrum moves.
