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.
For the Gut Health package's gut microbiome test, patients who are having a colonoscopy are asked to collect the stool sample either before taking the bowel-prep laxative, or two weeks after the colonoscopy is done.
For the Gut Health package's gut microbiome test, patients who have recently taken any antibiotic are asked to wait four weeks after stopping it before collecting the stool sample.
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.
For the Gut Health package, a family medicine physician gives a one-on-one explanation of the report.
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 tests we could price list at about US$1,419–2,106 for a woman (39 of 39 tests) and US$1,378–2,075 for a man (38 of 38 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.

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.
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.
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 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 no special preparation; expect to listen for tones or words through headphones, and sometimes a small probe checks how the eardrum moves.
