About this hospital
US price context

Bought one by one at US cash-pay marketplaces, the tests we could price list at about US$6,595–9,660 for a woman (42 of 42 tests) and US$5,864–8,749 for a man (37 of 37 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 2.2 mSv from the tests we could identify, a typical adult dose for these exams: roughly 8 months 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.

  • Abdominal X-ray (KUB) · about 0.7 mSv
  • Low-dose chest CT · about 1.5 mSv

Optional add-ons would add: Bone density (DXA) (about less than 0.01 mSv), 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.

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
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening all adults aged 18 to 79 years for hepatitis C virus infection. (2020) · USPSTF ↗
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 ↗
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening for osteoporosis with bone density testing in postmenopausal women younger than 65 years who are at increased risk, based on a clinical risk-assessment tool. (2025) · USPSTF ↗
Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of screening for osteoporosis in men. (2025) · USPSTF ↗
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening for osteoporosis with bone density testing in women 65 years or older. (2025) · USPSTF ↗
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).
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.
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.
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening for colorectal cancer in adults aged 45 to 49 years, including with colonoscopy every 10 years. (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 colonoscopy every 10 years. (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 colonoscopy every 10 years, 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.
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.
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.
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening for hepatitis B virus infection, with an HBsAg test followed by confirmatory testing, in adolescents and adults at increased risk for infection. (2020) · USPSTF ↗ Note: Risk groups include people born in a country with HBV prevalence of 2% or more, US-born people not vaccinated as infants whose parents were born in regions with very high HBV prevalence (8% or more), people with HIV, people who inject drugs, men who have sex with men, and household or sexual contacts of someone with HBV. The recommendation names regions by prevalence, not countries.
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.
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.
Recommended against (grade D)The USPSTF recommends against screening for cervical cancer in women younger than 21 years. (2018; an update is in progress) · USPSTF ↗ Note: The D statements are against cervical cancer screening in these groups by any test, including HPV testing; see the matching pap_smear rows.
Recommended against (grade D)The USPSTF recommends against screening for cervical cancer in women who have had a hysterectomy with removal of the cervix and do not have a history of a high-grade precancerous lesion (CIN 2 or 3) or cervical cancer. (2018; an update is in progress) · USPSTF ↗ Note: The D statements are against cervical cancer screening in these groups by any test, including HPV testing; see the matching pap_smear rows.
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends screening for cervical cancer in women aged 30 to 65 years with high-risk HPV testing every 5 years, alone or combined with cytology, as an alternative to cytology alone. (2018; an update is in progress) · USPSTF ↗ Note: For women aged 21 to 29 the 2018 statement recommends cytology alone every 3 years, not HPV testing. A draft update posted December 10, 2024 proposes primary HPV testing every 5 years (clinician- or patient-collected) for ages 30 to 65, with cytology every 3 years or cotesting every 5 years as alternatives; not yet a final USPSTF recommendation as of 2026-09-25.
Recommended against (grade D)The USPSTF recommends against screening for cervical cancer in women older than 65 years who have had adequate prior negative screening and are not otherwise at high risk. (2018; an update is in progress) · USPSTF ↗ Note: The D statements are against cervical cancer screening in these groups by any test, including HPV testing; see the matching pap_smear rows.
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.
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends biennial screening mammography for women aged 40 to 74 years. (2024) · USPSTF ↗ Note: 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).
Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of screening mammography in women 75 years or older. (2024) · USPSTF ↗ Note: 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).

(2018) · USPSTF ↗ Note: Same D-grade recommendation covers pelvic/transvaginal ultrasound and the CA-125 blood test; see ca125. This csv does not map pelvic_ultrasound to any recommendation about non-ovarian pelvic findings (fibroids, cysts), which the USPSTF does not address.
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.

General preparation notes for 11 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.

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.

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.

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.

Pelvic (gynecologic) ultrasound

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.

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.

Colonoscopy

Usually needs a clear-liquid diet the day before and a split-dose bowel-cleansing prep taken the evening before and morning of the exam; drinking extra fluids helps avoid dehydration.

Mention when booking: Tell the center about heart, kidney or lung disease, blood thinners, diabetes medicine, aspirin, arthritis medicine or iron; ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.

Afterwards: After sedation, no driving, operating machinery or signing legal documents for the rest of the day; someone should take you home.

Gastroscopy (upper GI endoscopy)

Usually needs about 8 hours without food or drink, including water, beforehand.

Mention when booking: Tell the center about heart or lung disease, aspirin, blood thinners, arthritis medicine, insulin or iron, and ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.

Afterwards: After sedation, no driving, machinery or legal documents that day; get a ride home. Contact a doctor for fever, trouble swallowing, chest or belly pain, or black stools; bleeding can start days later.

HPV DNA test

Usually needs no special preparation; if combined with a Pap test, avoiding sex, douching and vaginal products for 2 days beforehand is common.

Mention when booking: Tell the center if you are menstruating or had recent intercourse; the test can usually still be done.

Afterwards: Light spotting afterward is common and usually stops within a few hours.

Pap smear

Usually asks that you avoid intercourse, douching and tampons for 24 hours beforehand, and avoid scheduling during your period if possible.

Mention when booking: Tell the center if you are having unexpected bleeding, think you might be pregnant, or have had an abnormal Pap or positive HPV test before.

Afterwards: Light bleeding or spotting afterward is common and usually stops within a few hours.

Mammography

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.

Bone density (DXA)

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.
