About this hospitalWhat the center says
From the center's own pages, in English. Each statement links to its source.
Examinees without National Health Insurance must pay the full biopsy fee themselves; those with NHI coverage should present their NHI card when a biopsy is needed.
In the Advanced Medical Technology Package, if an examinee voluntarily skips or fails to complete an item for personal reasons, it is treated as a waiver: no substitution or refund is given.
In the Advanced Medical Technology Package, if an item cannot be performed due to force majeure, equipment limits, or the physician's clinical judgment, its refund is calculated at the package's discounted rate rather than the item's standalone price.
If a patient cancels a scheduled colonoscopy after already receiving the bowel-prep kit, they must still pay for the laxatives and meal replacements that were sent.
The center charges a NT$12,000 fee to cover the radiotracer cost if a PET/CT scan is canceled on the day of the exam.
For painless (sedated) gastroscopy and colonoscopy, appointments must be made at least 3 weeks in advance.
Patients who undergo sedated (painless) endoscopy must not drive or ride a vehicle afterward and should arrange an escort or other transportation home.
General anesthesia for sedated endoscopy is not given to patients who have had a heart attack in the past 6 months, unstable angina, severe arrhythmia, or are older than 75.
Before a contrast-enhanced CT scan, patients with a history of contrast or drug allergies, thyroid disease, impaired kidney function, asthma, diabetes (especially those taking metformin), or possible pregnancy should report this in advance.
Barium swallow (upper GI series) is not given to pregnant patients, those with bowel obstruction, or those who have had a gastrointestinal biopsy within the past 24 hours.
The center has a critical-value notification system: if a result is seriously abnormal, a nurse proactively contacts the patient and helps arrange a follow-up outpatient visit.

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 17 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, 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 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.
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 asks for no smoking for 24 hours, no heavy meals for at least 2 hours, and no alcohol for at least 4 hours beforehand; wear loose clothing.
Mention when booking: Mention a recent heart attack, stroke or surgery, a chest infection, heart problems or uncontrolled blood pressure; ask whether to bring or hold your usual inhaler.
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.
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.
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 3 to 4 hours without food and no caffeine beforehand, since caffeine makes it harder to slow the heart for clear pictures; water is often still allowed. Erectile-dysfunction medicines are avoided.
Mention when booking: Mention recent erectile-dysfunction medicine (nitroglycerin is often given), asthma, kidney disease, contrast allergy, metformin or pregnancy; ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.
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.
Guidelines on eating and drinking vary by center, so ask when booking. Remove jewelry and metal beforehand.
Mention when booking: Mention a pacemaker, aneurysm clip, cochlear implant or other implanted device, metal fragments, pregnancy, kidney disease, a contrast allergy, or claustrophobia.
Afterwards: If you take a sedative for claustrophobia or anxiety, you'll need someone to take you home; arrange this before the scan.
Usually needs several hours without food and only water to drink beforehand, then 30 to 60 minutes resting quietly after the tracer injection. Leave jewelry, hairpins and other metal at home.
Mention when booking: Tell the center about diabetes (ask the prescribing doctor about timing diabetes medicine), any contrast or iodine allergy, kidney disease, and pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Afterwards: Drink plenty of water afterward to help clear the tracer; normal activities can usually resume right away.
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 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.
Usually needs no special preparation; expect to listen for tones or words through headphones, and sometimes a small probe checks how the eardrum moves.
