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 10 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.
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 no special preparation; several samples on different days are often requested, since parasites don't show up daily. The stool shouldn't mix with urine, toilet paper or toilet water.
Mention when booking: Ask how and when to return the samples, especially if you are collecting over several days.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
