US price context

Bought one by one at US cash-pay marketplaces, the 43 of 43 tests we could price list at about US$1,491–1,909 (MDsave, Quest and others; checked 2026-10-11).

Executive physicals at top US hospitals ran US$1,700–10,000 (JAMA, 2019).

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.

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 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.

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 15 of these tests

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 ↗

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.

10-year cardiovascular risk score

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.

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 statement does not apply to adults with LDL cholesterol above 190 mg/dL or known familial hypercholesterolemia.

Height, weight and BMI

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.

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.

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.

Total 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.

TSH

Urinalysis

Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of screening for bladder cancer in asymptomatic adults. (2011) · USPSTF ↗ Note: The USPSTF lists urine dipstick or microscopic urinalysis for hematuria (blood in the urine) among the bladder cancer screening tests it considered. This note covers only that use of a urinalysis.

Visual acuity

Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of screening for impaired visual acuity in older adults. (2022) · USPSTF ↗

General preparation notes for 7 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.

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.
