US price context

Bought one by one at US cash-pay marketplaces, the tests we could price list at about US$3,312–4,689 for a woman (45 of 46 tests) and US$2,940–4,327 for a man (43 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 3.2 mSv from the tests we could identify, a typical adult dose for these exams: roughly 1.1 years 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.

  • 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.

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 22 of these tests
Arterial stiffness (ABI / PWV)
Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of adding the ankle-brachial index 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 that is limited to coronary artery calcium scoring; its September 2024 research plan excludes the ABI, which it says will be evaluated as a screening test in a separate future topic on peripheral artery disease.
Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of screening for peripheral artery disease and cardiovascular disease risk with the ankle-brachial index in asymptomatic adults. (2018) · USPSTF ↗ Note: A separate statement from the nontraditional-risk-factor one; see the other abi_pwv row. Neither USPSTF statement mapped here addresses pulse wave velocity (arterial stiffness).
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 ↗
Breast ultrasound
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).
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.
Carotid ultrasound
Recommended against (grade D)The USPSTF recommends against screening for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis in the general adult population. (2021) · USPSTF ↗
Coronary artery calcium score
Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of adding a coronary artery calcium score to traditional risk assessment for cardiovascular disease in asymptomatic adults. (2018; an update is in progress) · USPSTF ↗ Note: Same recommendation covers ABI, high-sensitivity CRP and coronary artery calcium score together; see the other two test rows. The USPSTF has an update in progress specifically on coronary artery calcium scoring for enhanced cardiovascular risk assessment; the 2018 I statement remains the current final recommendation as of 2026-09-25.
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.
Free T4
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.
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.
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.
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.
Low-dose chest CT
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends annual screening for lung cancer with low-dose CT in adults aged 50 to 80 years with a 20 pack-year smoking history who currently smoke or quit within the past 15 years. (2021) · USPSTF ↗ Note: Screening should stop once the person has not smoked for 15 years or develops a health problem that substantially limits life expectancy or the ability to have curative lung surgery.
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.
Thyroid ultrasound
Recommended against (grade D)The USPSTF recommends against screening for thyroid cancer in asymptomatic adults. (2017) · USPSTF ↗

General preparation notes for 9 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.

Fasting insulin

Usually needs 8 to 12 hours of fasting (no food or drink except plain water) beforehand.

Mention when booking: Mention biotin (vitamin B7) supplements, usually paused for at least a day before this test, and any diabetes medicine; ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.

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.

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.

Coronary artery calcium score

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.

Low-dose chest CT

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.
