About this hospitalWhat the center says
From the center's own pages, in English. Each statement links to its source.
The health management center's checkup hours are Monday to Friday, mornings 8:00-11:00 and afternoons 1:00-4:00.
The center asks patients to fast starting after dinner the night before, until the exam is finished.
For the sigmoidoscopy fast, the center says patients should keep taking prescribed medication as usual, except that diabetic patients should stop their blood-sugar-lowering medication during the fasting period to avoid an accident, and bring the medication along to take after the exam.
The center's preparation instructions ask patients to fast from midnight the night before the exam, until it is finished.
Ask your own doctor before changing any medicine.
The hospital charges NT$200 to burn a CD of a general X-ray (X-RAY) exam's images, usually ready in 30 to 60 minutes; the disc does not support Apple's operating system, and the center only burns its own hospital's images, not other hospitals'.
Bought one by one at US cash-pay marketplaces, the 24 of 24 tests we could price list at about US$2,052–2,940 (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.

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.
