About this hospitalWhat the center says
From the center's own pages, in English. Each statement links to its source.
For the digestive-system endoscopy add-on (gastroscope and colonoscope), the center says to book 5 to 6 months ahead.
Check-in for the health check is normally between 8:00 and 9:00 in the morning, though the center says the exact time follows the pre-exam notice.
On the day of the exam, the center accepts cash or card payment (VISA, Mastercard, or JCB).
The hospital's fee schedule says an English diagnosis certificate or proof document adds NT$100 to 500 to the normal certificate fee.
The center asks patients on anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs (such as aspirin) to check with their doctor about whether they can be stopped before a polyp can be removed.
The center recommends staying in Taiwan for one week after an invasive procedure as a safety precaution.
The center asks patients to eat normally but avoid foods containing blood (such as duck blood, pig blood, beef, alcohol, and organ meats) for 3 days before the exam.
The center asks patients to stop eating and drinking anything, including tea and water, and not to smoke, from 10pm the night before the exam until exam day.
The center asks patients to collect their stool sample the day before the exam, place it in the provided container inside the light-blocking green bag, keep it cool or in a shaded spot away from heat, and hand it to staff at check-in.
The center asks patients not to bring valuables or jewelry on exam day, and not to wear underwear with large metal clasps.
The center asks nearsighted patients not to wear contact lenses for the exam, since it would prevent eye-pressure testing.
The center asks women who have never been sexually active, or who suspect or know they are pregnant, to tell staff in advance so a Pap smear or X-ray is not performed.
The center asks female patients not to collect stool or urine samples, and not to have a Pap smear, during their period, since it could affect the results.
The center asks patients to avoid vaginal douching, vaginal medication, sitz baths, and intercourse for 3 days before a Pap smear.
The center asks patients with a metal implant (such as a heart stent, pacemaker, artificial heart valve, or aneurysm clip) to tell staff in advance.
The center asks patients to fast, including water, for 6 hours before the exam.
Ask your own doctor before changing any medicine.
The center says the personal health-check report is ready in 14 to 20 working days, depending on how complex the exams are.
The center offers a phone consultation to go over the health-check report, available Monday to Friday, 13:30 to 17:00.
For patients being tracked for an abnormal health-check result, the center helps arrange the outpatient clinic registration.

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 5.2 mSv from the tests we could identify, a typical adult dose for these exams: roughly 1.7 years of natural background radiation (about 3 mSv a year, US average).
Not counted: Cervical spine X-ray (2 views) and cervical spine MRI; Lumbar spine X-ray (2 views) and lumbar spine MRI. If it 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
- Coronary CT angiography · about 5.1 mSv
Optional add-ons would add: Mammography (about 0.28 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 14 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.
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.
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 little or no preparation; an enema and antibiotics are mainly for a planned biopsy. A scan through the lower belly instead may need a full bladder.
Mention when booking: Mention aspirin or other blood thinners; if a biopsy is planned, the center may ask about pausing them, so ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.
For a transabdominal scan, drinking water beforehand to fill the bladder is common; for a transvaginal scan, an empty bladder is usual instead.
Mention when booking: Tell the center which type of scan you expect, and mention if you are, or might be, pregnant.
Usually needs 3 to 4 hours without food and no caffeine beforehand, since caffeine makes it harder to slow the heart for clear pictures; water is often still allowed. Erectile-dysfunction medicines are avoided.
Mention when booking: Mention recent erectile-dysfunction medicine (nitroglycerin is often given), asthma, kidney disease, contrast allergy, metformin or pregnancy; ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.
Guidelines on eating and drinking vary by center, so ask when booking. Remove jewelry and metal beforehand.
Mention when booking: Mention a pacemaker, aneurysm clip, cochlear implant or other implanted device, metal fragments, pregnancy, kidney disease, or claustrophobia.
Afterwards: If you take a sedative for claustrophobia or anxiety, you'll need someone to take you home; arrange this before the scan.
Usually asks that you skip deodorant, powder or lotion on the underarms and breasts, since these can look like calcium spots on the image. Bring prior mammograms from elsewhere if you have them.
Mention when booking: Mention breast implants, any breast symptoms, prior breast surgery, hormone use, or the possibility of pregnancy.
Afterwards: You may be asked to wait until the radiologist confirms the images are complete; ask when to expect results.
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.
Often done with a camera that photographs the retina without drops; some centers use dilating drops that widen the pupil, which blurs vision for a few hours afterward.
Mention when booking: Mention any eye pain, halos around lights, or a narrow drainage angle or angle-closure glaucoma history.
Afterwards: If drops were used, vision may be blurry and light-sensitive for a few hours; have someone else drive. Sudden eye pain, headache, blurred vision or halos after dilation need urgent care.
