How much does a routine physical examination cost

There is no unified standard for the cost of routine physical examinations, which range from more than one hundred to early two thousand. The core differences lie in the three dimensions of physical examination items, medical institutions and cities.

The most basic routine physical examination for employment is the cheapest, usually including height and weight, blood routine, chest X-ray, and basic liver function. I just went to the community health service center with my cousin who just graduated last month to do one. It only cost 168, and I got it the next day. The report fully meets the company's entry requirements. The general price of this type of basic routine physical examination is between 100 and 300. Community hospitals will be dozens of times cheaper than top-level physical examination centers. If the company has a designated institution to cooperate with, it can even be free.

If you arrange an annual health check-up for yourself, the items will be much more than the entry fee. Generally, targeted items such as abdominal color ultrasound, blood lipids and blood glucose, basic tumor markers, and Helicobacter pylori testing will be added. I spent 790 on this set at a local top-level physical examination center last year. The same item can be obtained at a national chain commercial physical examination institution for about 600. There are quite a lot of differences among friends around me on the choice of this gear. Some people would rather spend more money to choose the top three, thinking that the report will be more recognized when going to the hospital for medical treatment. Some people think that commercial institutions do not have to get up early to queue up, and the time saved is worth more than 100 yuan. Both options are quite common.

When arranging routine physical examinations for elders over 40 years old, many targeted screening items are usually added, such as replacing ordinary chest X-rays with low-dose spiral CT, adding gastrointestinal endoscopy, and special cardiovascular and cerebrovascular-related tests. The basic cost of all items is about 1,500 to 2,000. If you choose the VIP service of a high-end private institution, you will be guided throughout the process without queuing, and you can find a doctor on the spot to interpret the preliminary report. The price will be several hundred higher.

Speaking of this, some people may be confused about whether to choose the expensive one or the cheap one. In fact, there is no unified opinion in the industry: some people think that routine physical examinations are just to screen for basic problems. There is no need to choose too expensive ones, as long as the basic items cover common health risks; some clinicians suggest that it is not necessary to keep an eye on the price, it is best to get a Adjust the items according to your family medical history and daily routine. For example, if you have a family history of lung cancer and smoke all year round, spending an extra three to four hundred to replace a chest X-ray with a CT scan is much more useful than doing a bunch of useless additional items. There is no need to choose items with a high missed diagnosis rate to save money, and there is no need to blindly follow the trend and buy expensive "luxury packages." I have seen people grab the 99 group-purchased physical examination package at a bargain price. As a result, the core tumor markers and color ultrasound items were not included. In the end, they went to the hospital alone to make up for it. Instead, they spent extra money. When choosing, it is best to check that the core items are not complete before comparing prices.
