About this hospitalWhat the center says
From the center's own pages, in English. Each statement links to its source.
The center asks that any change to the exam date be given at least three days in advance.
Canceling a self-paid check-up requires contacting the center at least three days ahead and going in person to process it, and a NT$1,000 handling fee applies; the anesthesia evaluation, education, medication and meal-replacement costs (NT$2,000) already incurred are not refundable.
On-site scheduling and payment is done 1-2 weeks before the exam.
Patients booking a painless endoscopy must come to the hospital in person a week before the exam for a physician evaluation and to sign the exam consent form and bowel-prep medication instructions.
Patients on blood pressure medication may take it up until 6am on the day of the exam; those on other chronic medication such as for diabetes or heart disease should bring it to the check-up to take after the exam.
The center asks patients to wear comfortable or casual clothing for the exam, asks female guests to bring a loose thin jacket, and asks patients not to bring valuables to the hospital.
The center asks patients to avoid strenuous exercise, staying up late, and drinking alcohol the day before the exam, since these can affect the test results.
Female guests who are pregnant are asked to tell check-up staff in advance.
Female guests who are menstruating on the day of the exam are asked to tell check-up staff in advance.
Ask your own doctor before changing any medicine.
Health check-up reports are sent within about 14 working days by expedited registered mail.
Reports can be mailed to the patient, or the patient can pick them up in person at the center (an authorization letter and both parties' ID are needed if someone else collects it on their behalf), and after a mailed report arrives the patient can also book an in-person doctor's report explanation.
After a mailed report arrives, patients can book an appointment for a doctor to explain the report to them in person, available afternoons only.
If a report shows a special abnormality, the center follows the doctor's instructions for follow-up, and a nurse calls to have the patient return for further diagnosis or treatment, arranging the registration on their behalf.

Radiation from this package's imaging
About 0.1 mSv from the tests we could identify, a typical adult dose for these exams: less than 1 month of natural background radiation (about 3 mSv a year, US average).
This package also lists 13 items we have not matched to a test; if any of them is an X-ray, CT or PET scan, the total is higher.
- Bone density (DXA) · about less than 0.01 mSv
- Chest X-ray · about 0.1 mSv
Optional add-ons would add: Coronary artery calcium score (about 1.7 mSv), Low-dose chest CT (about 1.5 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Usually needs several hours without food or drink beforehand. Antibiotics, bismuth and acid-reducing PPIs taken in the weeks before can hide the infection, so the center will ask about them.
Mention when booking: Tell the center which antibiotics, bismuth products or acid-reducing medicines you take, and ask the prescribing doctor about timing before the test.
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.
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.
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.
Usually needs about 4 hours without food, caffeine or smoking beforehand; no contrast injection is used for this scan.
Mention when booking: Tell the center if pregnancy is possible.
Afterwards: No recovery time is needed; normal activities can usually resume right away.
Usually needs no fasting and no contrast injection; loose clothing with no metal is easiest.
Mention when booking: Tell the center if you are, or might be, pregnant.
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.
