About this hospitalWhat the center says
From the center's own pages, in English. Each statement links to its source.
If a patient cannot make it to their scheduled check-up, the center asks them to notify it at least 3 days before the exam date.
The center says patients should fast for at least 10 hours before the check-up, avoiding drinks and tea, though a little plain water is allowed to wet the throat.
For the urine test, the center asks patients to collect a mid-stream urine sample.
The center says collecting a urine sample during a female patient's period may cause a false blood-positive result in the urine report, so it suggests rescheduling the urine test for another time.
The center asks patients with diabetes not to take their blood sugar medication on the day of the check-up.
The center says patients with high blood pressure may take their blood pressure medication as usual on the day, with only a small amount of plain water (about 30-50cc).
The center says other chronic-disease medications can be carried along and taken after the fasting-required test items are finished.
The center asks patients not to collect a stool sample if they have hemorrhoid bleeding or are having their period.
The center asks patients to keep the collected stool sample away from light and direct sunlight.
Ask your own doctor before changing any medicine.
The center says the health check-up report is ready 14 to 21 working days after the exam.
Patients can choose to have the report mailed to them or pick it up in person.
Bought one by one at US cash-pay marketplaces, the tests we could price list at about US$904–1,271 for a woman (21 of 22 tests) and US$870–1,237 for a man (20 of 21 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.

General preparation notes for 1 test 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.
Usually needs no special preparation; expect to listen for tones or words through headphones, and sometimes a small probe checks how the eardrum moves.
