US price context

Bought one by one at US cash-pay marketplaces, the tests we could price list at about US$6,581–9,554 for a woman (52 of 55 tests) and US$6,169–9,042 for a man (49 of 52 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 0.8 mSv from the tests we could identify, a typical adult dose for these exams: roughly 4 months of natural background radiation (about 3 mSv a year, US average).

This package also lists 15 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
  • Chest X-ray · about 0.1 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 24 of these tests
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening all adults aged 18 to 79 years for hepatitis C virus infection. (2020) · USPSTF ↗
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 ↗
Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of supplemental screening with breast ultrasound in women found to have dense breasts on an otherwise negative screening mammogram. (2024) · USPSTF ↗ Note: Same I statement covers ultrasound and MRI as supplemental tests; see mri_breast. The USPSTF breast cancer screening statement does not apply to people at high risk of breast cancer (for example BRCA1/2 carriers or others with a high-risk genetic marker or syndrome, people who had high-dose chest radiation at a young age, or people with previous breast cancer or a high-risk breast lesion).
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.
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.
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening for colorectal cancer in adults aged 45 to 49 years, including with colonoscopy every 10 years. (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 colonoscopy every 10 years. (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 colonoscopy every 10 years, 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.
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 calculating the score. The USPSTF tells clinicians to estimate 10-year cardiovascular risk with a risk estimator (it names the ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations) as a step in the statin decision. 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 calculating the score. The USPSTF tells clinicians to estimate 10-year cardiovascular risk with a risk estimator (it names the ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations) as a step in the statin decision. 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 calculating the score. The USPSTF tells clinicians to estimate 10-year cardiovascular risk with a risk estimator (it names the ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations) as a step in the statin decision. The statement does not apply to adults with LDL cholesterol above 190 mg/dL or known familial hypercholesterolemia.
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.
Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of screening for thyroid dysfunction in nonpregnant, asymptomatic adults. (2015) · USPSTF ↗ Note: The I statement concerns screening for thyroid dysfunction, for which the USPSTF names serum TSH as the primary screening test; T4 is described as follow-up testing after a persistently abnormal TSH.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Recommended against (grade D)The USPSTF recommends against screening for cervical cancer in women younger than 21 years. (2018; an update is in progress) · USPSTF ↗
Recommended against (grade D)The USPSTF recommends against screening for cervical cancer in women who have had a hysterectomy with removal of the cervix and do not have a history of a high-grade precancerous lesion (CIN 2 or 3) or cervical cancer. (2018; an update is in progress) · USPSTF ↗
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening for cervical cancer every 3 years with cervical cytology alone in women aged 21 to 29 years. (2018; an update is in progress) · USPSTF ↗ Note: A draft update was posted December 10, 2024 (public comment to January 13, 2025); not yet a new final recommendation as of 2026-09-25.
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening for cervical cancer in women aged 30 to 65 years, every 3 years with cytology alone, every 5 years with high-risk HPV testing alone, or every 5 years with HPV testing combined with cytology. (2018; an update is in progress) · USPSTF ↗ Note: A draft update was posted December 10, 2024 (public comment to January 13, 2025); not yet a new final recommendation as of 2026-09-25.
Recommended against (grade D)The USPSTF recommends against screening for cervical cancer in women older than 65 years who have had adequate prior negative screening and are not otherwise at high risk. (2018; an update is in progress) · USPSTF ↗
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.
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 ↗
Recommended against (grade D)The USPSTF recommends against screening for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in asymptomatic adults. (2022) · USPSTF ↗

General preparation notes for 12 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.

Body composition analysis

Mention when booking: Mention a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator: the test passes a weak electric current through the body and has traditionally not been recommended with these devices.

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.

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.

Lung function test

Usually asks for no smoking for 24 hours, no heavy meals for at least 2 hours, and no alcohol for at least 4 hours beforehand; wear loose clothing.

Mention when booking: Mention a recent heart attack, stroke or surgery, a chest infection, heart problems or uncontrolled blood pressure; ask whether to bring or hold your usual inhaler.

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.

Colonoscopy

Usually needs a clear-liquid diet the day before and a split-dose bowel-cleansing prep taken the evening before and morning of the exam; drinking extra fluids helps avoid dehydration.

Mention when booking: Tell the center about heart, kidney or lung disease, blood thinners, diabetes medicine, aspirin, arthritis medicine or iron; ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.

Afterwards: After sedation, no driving, operating machinery or signing legal documents for the rest of the day; someone should take you home.

Gastroscopy (upper GI endoscopy)

Usually needs about 8 hours without food or drink, including water, beforehand.

Mention when booking: Tell the center about heart or lung disease, aspirin, blood thinners, arthritis medicine, insulin or iron, and ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.

Afterwards: After sedation, no driving, machinery or legal documents that day; get a ride home. Contact a doctor for fever, trouble swallowing, chest or belly pain, or black stools; bleeding can start days later.

Pap smear

Usually asks that you avoid intercourse, douching and tampons for 24 hours beforehand, and avoid scheduling during your period if possible.

Mention when booking: Tell the center if you are having unexpected bleeding, think you might be pregnant, or have had an abnormal Pap or positive HPV test before.

Afterwards: Light bleeding or spotting afterward is common and usually stops within a few hours.
