Between $549 to $1,499, depending on how deep you want to go. That range covers everything from a thorough core screening to a technology-heavy package with capsule gastroscopy and DNA-based colorectal screening. Below is what each price point buys, and how it compares with what the same money gets you at home.
The 2026 price list
| Package | Price (USD) | What defines it |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | $549 | Core labs, 13/11 tumor markers, low-dose chest CT, head CT, coronary calcium score |
| Cardio & Brain | $699 | Adds echocardiogram, brain MRI, AI retinal scan, immune panel |
| Comprehensive | $849 | Adds HbA1c, HPV-28, digital liver ultrasound, cloud imaging |
| VIP | $1,099 | Adds lipoprotein(a), apolipoproteins, thyroid-5, carbon-13 breath test |
| SVIP | $1,499 | Adds capsule gastroscopy, DNA colorectal screening, breast volume ultrasound |
Every price includes the blood draw, the examinations, breakfast on site and the closing review. There is no facility fee, no separate radiology bill and no surprise invoice three weeks later — a single price, known before you fly.
How that compares with the US and Europe
In the United States, executive physical programs at well-known hospital systems typically cost $2,000 to $5,000, and a self-pay full-body MRI alone can exceed that. In the UK, a private GP health screen with meaningful imaging usually sits between GBP 500 and GBP 1,500, and adding an MRI or CT scan prices each one separately. Private screening in Germany, France and the Nordics follows the same pattern: the base panel is affordable, but every scan is a line item.
The Chinese model is different because the centers are built for volume. Imaging is bundled rather than billed per scan, which is why a package with a low-dose chest CT, a brain MRI and half a dozen ultrasounds can cost less than a single MRI in London or New York.
What actually moves the price
- Imaging tier. Head CT versus brain MRI is the clearest step-up; MRI costs more everywhere.
- Cardiac depth. Coronary calcium scoring is in most tiers; echocardiography and lipoprotein(a) sit higher.
- Cancer screening method. Standard tumor markers are included throughout; the DNA-based colorectal test and capsule gastroscopy are premium items.
- Women's health depth. HPV-28 genotyping and automated breast volume ultrasound appear in the upper tiers.
The honest math on flying for a checkup
Nobody should fly to China only for a checkup — the flight costs more than the screening. The math works when the checkup rides on a trip you already want: a holiday, a business visit, a family stop. Then the question flips. You are already paying for the flight; the marginal cost of a full-body screening is a few hundred dollars and one morning.
For Americans using the 240-hour visa-free transit and Europeans using 30-day visa-free entry, the entry cost is zero as well. We confirm which route applies to your passport before anything is booked.
What is not included
Flights, hotels and anything the screening flags for follow-up. If a result needs a specialist consultation or a repeat test, that is a separate decision we help you think through — here or at home. Screening results are risk indicators, not diagnoses, and no package removes the need for your own doctor.
