Executive Physical Cost: Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, Cooper, Johns Hopkins vs China (2026)
Поделиться
Third-party guides put a typical US executive physical at about $2,000–6,000, with Mayo historically around $5,000 on a 2017 estimate and luxury programs at $10,000 or more[5][6] — but as of 3 September 2026 none of the four best-known programs publishes a price of its own: Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Cooper Clinic and Johns Hopkins each quote on enquiry, and Johns Hopkins states that it does not bill health insurance at all[1][2][3][4]. The China route through SinoCareLink is priced in public: a Premium checkup at a Grade 3A hospital is $599 (men) or $699 (women), a Personalized Screening starts at the same $599 base in Shanghai (or $799 in Beijing) but is assembled from your history rather than a fixed panel, a named-hospital package at Peking Union Medical College Hospital is $1,499–1,699, and imaging add-ons such as coronary CT angiography ($200), whole-body MRI (from $399) and whole-body PET-CT (from $1,299 in Shenzhen) are listed individually[7][8][9][10][11]. This guide compares what each US program says it includes, what it says about cost and billing, and what the fly-to-China option buys — and where it falls short.
Comparison by SinoCareLink, which coordinates the China-side packages priced here. Not medical advice: whether you need an executive physical, and which tests belong in it, is a decision for you and your physician. Prices and program descriptions were checked on 3 September 2026 and may change.
Key facts: executive physical cost at Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, Cooper, Hopkins vs China (2026)
- Mayo Clinic Executive Health Program: a visit of typically two days (sometimes one or three) led by an internal medicine specialist, built on an age- and gender-based standard protocol plus physician-added tests and optional services such as genetic testing; no price figure on its pages, with cost estimates shared on enquiry[1]. A third-party guide cites a historical figure of around $5,000 (2017 estimate)[5].
- Cleveland Clinic Executive Health: standard exam takes six to eight hours; cost and insurance questions go to its corporate health consultant; extras such as coronary CT angiography, total-body CT and dermatology "may require an extended stay as well as additional costs"[2].
- Cooper Clinic (Dallas): a one-day comprehensive preventive exam customised by age, gender and history, with same-day results; pricing discussed on enquiry[3].
- Johns Hopkins Executive & Preventive Health (Baltimore): a visit its site describes as day-long; "the cost varies by participant"; individuals pay all charges, the program does not bill insurers, and since July 2021 its invoices omit CPT and diagnosis codes "so that patients may not submit to their insurer for reimbursement"[4].
- China via SinoCareLink: Premium checkup $599/$699 in about half a day (4–5 hours); Personalized Screening from $599 (Shanghai) or $799 (Beijing); Peking Union Medical College Hospital package $1,499 (women) / $1,699 (men); Early Cancer Screening with whole-body PET-CT and sedated endoscopy $1,699/$1,899; add-ons priced individually. English report in two to three weeks; preliminary findings discussed on the day[7][8][9][10][11].
How we compared them
US program descriptions and cost statements come from each program's own pages, checked in a real browser on 3 September 2026 and quoted verbatim in the table below[1][2][3][4]. Where a program publishes no price, we say so and quote third-party guides separately, labelled as estimates[5][6]. China prices are SinoCareLink's live product pages on the same date[7]–[11]. We compare duration, stated inclusions, price transparency, billing and follow-up; we do not claim clinical equivalence between programs, and no program here replaces the screening your own doctor recommends.
What each program's own page says about price
We checked all four in a real browser on 3 September 2026, expanding the cost question in each site's own FAQ, because these sites return bot-challenge errors to automated fetching — and an error page is not evidence of absence.
| Program | What its own page says | Page checked |
|---|---|---|
| Mayo Clinic Executive Health Program | "Because each appointment is personalized … cost can vary executive-to-executive and appointment-to-appointment. In the interest of transparency, we are able to share cost estimates for our standard protocol of services by gender, age, visit, and campus. For more detail on cost please inquire or apply." | Executive Health Program FAQs[1] |
| Cleveland Clinic Executive Health | No price figure on the program pages. "For additional information about the program including cost and insurance coverage, please contact our Corporate Health Consultant" (216.442.8192). | About Your Executive Health Exam[2] |
| Cooper Clinic (Dallas) | No price figure on the preventive-exam or executive-health pages. For its Platinum membership: "The annual fee is paid at the beginning of the contract and is based on age. Please refer to our brochure for specific details. For pricing inquiries, please call us." | Preventive exam, Executive Health, Platinum FAQ[3] |
| Johns Hopkins Executive & Preventive Health | "The cost varies by participant in the program. Each patient's set of services is customized to meet their specific needs, thus the cost fluctuates by person." Self-pay; does not bill insurers; invoices carry no CPT or diagnosis codes "so that patients may not submit to their insurer for reimbursement". | Executive Health FAQs[4] |
Read that carefully, because the distinction matters: none of the four publishes a price figure on its website, and all four quote on enquiry. That is not the same as being cagey — Mayo explicitly offers cost estimates on enquiry and frames it as transparency, and the reason all four give is the same one: the visit is assembled per patient, so a list price would be fiction. What it does mean is that you cannot compare them by looking, and that any specific dollar figure you see attributed to them online — including figures that used to appear on this site — is a third-party estimate, not a published price.
Executive physical cost and inclusions: the four US programs side by side
| Program | Duration | Stated inclusions | Price published? | Third-party estimate | Billing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mayo Clinic Executive Health Program (Minnesota, Arizona, Florida) | Typically two days; sometimes one or three[1] | Led by an internal medicine specialist, on an age- and gender-based standard protocol plus physician-added tests, with optional services including genetic testing, multi-cancer early detection screening and resiliency training[1] | No — quoted on enquiry[1] | Around $5,000 (PartnerMD, 2017 estimate)[5] | Not stated on the pages checked; confirm with the program[1] |
| Cleveland Clinic Executive Health (Cleveland) | Six to eight hours for the standard exam[2] | History and physical; comprehensive labs; complete cardiac evaluation; vision, hearing and pulmonary evaluation; bone densitometry; and more, customised[2] | No — "contact our Corporate Health Consultant"[2] | None found | Cost and insurance coverage: contact the Corporate Health Consultant[2] |
| Cooper Clinic (Dallas) | One day, with same-day results[3] | Comprehensive preventive exam customised by age, gender, medical history and physician recommendation, built around six components[3] | No — pricing discussed on enquiry[3] | None found | Self-pay or corporate account[3] |
| Johns Hopkins Executive & Preventive Health (Baltimore) | Described on its site as a day-long visit[4] | History and physical; comprehensive labs and urinalysis; resting EKG; audiogram; eye examination; dermatologist skin-cancer screening; summary conference with written summary; optional stress testing[4] | No — "the cost varies by participant"[4] | None found | Self-pay; does not bill health insurers; invoices carry no CPT or diagnosis codes "so that patients may not submit to their insurer for reimbursement"; employer-eligible participants are billed to the employer[4] |
The fuller inclusion lists are worth reading at source: Cleveland Clinic's women's exam adds a mammogram, a Pap smear with HPV testing and menopause evaluation, and its genetic services, CT angiography, total-body CT and dermatology sit outside the standard exam and "may require an extended stay as well as additional costs"[2]; Johns Hopkins includes PSA from age 40, an HIV test under 65 with consent, and the eye examination at the Wilmer Eye Institute[4]. On billing the four differ: Johns Hopkins is explicit that it does not bill insurers, Cleveland Clinic refers coverage questions to its consultant, and Mayo and Cooper state no insurance position on the pages we checked[1][2][3][4].

What third-party guides say an executive physical costs
PartnerMD, a US concierge practice, puts most executive physicals in a $2,000–6,000 range, lists its own programs at $2,700–4,000 and Emory Healthcare at $3,000–5,000 or more, describes Mayo Clinic as "historically priced around $5,000" on a 2017 estimate, and notes that private luxury clinics often charge $10,000 or more[5]. A 2026 longevity-clinic buyers' guide concludes there is "no single reliable market range", cites public examples of $8,000 (Human Longevity) and $7,500 or $15,000 first-year memberships (Biograph), and says other major programs require a customised quote[6]. Treat all of these as orientation, not offers: the only price you can rely on is the one a program quotes you in writing.
The China option: what an executive health checkup costs, and what it includes
| Option | Price | What it covers | Time on site |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium checkup, Grade 3A hospital (10 cities) | $599 men · $699 women | Essential panel (liver and kidney function, lipids, glucose, abdominal ultrasound, physician review) plus low-dose spiral CT of the lungs, cardiac enzymes and an expanded tumour-marker panel[7] | About half a day (4–5 hours)[7] |
| Personalized Screening | from $599 Shanghai · $799 Beijing · $1,399 in Guangzhou, Chongqing, Xi'an, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Nanjing and Suzhou | Any tier as the base plus what your history calls for — targeted CT or MRI, specific blood tests, sedated endoscopy — assembled from the add-on menu[7] | Set by the add-ons you choose; confirmed in your written plan[7] |
| Peking Union Medical College Hospital checkup (Beijing) | $1,499 women · $1,699 men | One-visit comprehensive screening — bloods, imaging, cardiac assessment, cancer-marker screening, physician consultation — at a named hospital; the product page states the test panel is comparable to the standard Essential-to-Premium tiers ($399 Essential to $699 Premium) and the premium reflects the hospital's reputation and senior specialist team[8] | One visit[8] |
| Early Cancer Screening | $1,699 men · $1,899 women | Whole-body PET-CT plus sedated gastroscopy and colonoscopy with tumour markers, companion included[9] | Confirmed in your written plan[9] |
| Add-ons, each priced separately | CCTA $200 · echocardiogram $100 · low-dose chest CT $100 · whole-body MRI in Shenzhen from $399 (1.5T clinic) or $599 (3.0T hospital) · whole-body PET-CT $1,299 Shenzhen / $1,499 Shanghai · bilingual companion $50–200 · priority booking $100 | Bookable with any package; imaging add-ons are appropriate where a physician recommends them[10][11] | Same trip where scheduling allows[10][11] |
For a reader whose physician recommends cardiac imaging, Premium plus coronary CT angiography and an echocardiogram is $599 plus $200 plus $100 — $899 for men or $999 for women — against third-party estimates of $2,000–6,000 for a US program[5][7][10]. Add whole-body MRI at $599 and the total is $1,498 or $1,598; swap that MRI for whole-body PET-CT and it is $2,198 or $2,298 in Shenzhen[10][11]. Those are list prices confirmed in writing before you pay; they exclude flights, hotel and any follow-up care.
What the US programs give you that China does not
- Results before you leave. Cooper Clinic delivers same-day results and Johns Hopkins closes the day with a summary conference and a written summary[3][4]. In China, preliminary findings are discussed on the day and the full English report follows in two to three weeks[7].
- Breadth in one building. Between them, the Cleveland Clinic and Johns Hopkins standard visits cover audiology, ophthalmology, immunisations, bone densitometry (Cleveland) and dermatology (Hopkins)[2][4]; SinoCareLink packages centre on blood work, imaging and cardiac assessment, and other specialties can be requested separately.
- A named physician for the visit. Mayo's program is led by an internal medicine specialist assigned to you[1]; a Chinese report goes to your own doctor at home for follow-up.
- No travel. There is no long-haul flight, and Cooper Clinic, Johns Hopkins and Cleveland Clinic describe corporate or employer arrangements[2][3][4].
What China gives you that the US programs do not
- A published price. Every SinoCareLink option above is listed in USD and confirmed in writing before payment[7]–[11]; none of the four US programs lists one.
- Imaging à la carte. Coronary CT angiography, whole-body MRI and whole-body PET-CT are individually priced add-ons in China; at Cleveland Clinic the equivalent extras "may require an extended stay as well as additional costs"[2][10][11].
- Hospital-based screening with a companion. Packages run at Grade 3A hospitals — China's top tier — with a bilingual companion through registration, every department and the physician conversation; the companion is included in the Peking Union and Early Cancer Screening packages and is a $50 half-day bundle add-on with the checkup tiers[7][8][9][10].
- A trip you were taking anyway. The arithmetic works best when the checkup rides on business or leisure travel to China rather than justifying a flight by itself.
When the fly-to-China option does not make sense
- Your employer pays for the US program. Take it; the comparison here is for self-payers.
- You need the summary the same day. If a same-day physician debrief with results in hand is the point of the exercise, Cooper Clinic or Johns Hopkins deliver that and China does not[3][4].
- You have symptoms. An executive physical is screening; symptoms need a diagnostic work-up with your own physician, wherever you live.
- Continuity matters most. A US program keeps the review, the record and the follow-up in one system your own physician can reach[1][2][3][4].
How to book the China option
Send your age, history, screening goals and travel dates through the intake form; we confirm availability within 24 hours and send a written plan — hospital, tier, add-ons and total — and you pay only after the exact test list is confirmed in writing[7].

Frequently asked questions
How much does an executive physical cost in the US?
Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Cooper Clinic and Johns Hopkins do not publish fixed prices; each quotes after a health questionnaire. Third-party guides place most US executive physicals at about $2,000–6,000, cite Mayo at historically around $5,000 (PartnerMD, 2017 estimate), and put luxury programs at $10,000 or more. Prices checked 3 September 2026.
How much does the Mayo Clinic Executive Health Program cost?
Mayo does not publish a price for the program on its pages; it describes a typically two-day visit built on a standard protocol with physician-added and optional tests. A US concierge practice's cost guide cites a historical figure of around $5,000 based on a 2017 estimate. Ask Mayo for a written quote.
How much does the Cleveland Clinic executive physical cost?
Cleveland Clinic does not publish a price. Its pages describe a standard executive physical of six to eight hours and direct cost and insurance questions to its Corporate Health Consultant; additional services such as CT angiography, total-body CT and dermatology "may require an extended stay as well as additional costs". Ask for a written quote before booking.
How much does the Johns Hopkins executive physical cost?
Johns Hopkins does not publish a price either: "the cost varies by participant", because each visit is customised. It is self-pay, the program does not bill health insurers, and since July 2021 its invoices carry no CPT or diagnosis codes so that patients may not submit them to an insurer. Employer-eligible participants are billed to the employer.
Does insurance cover an executive physical at Cleveland Clinic or Johns Hopkins?
Johns Hopkins states that it does not bill health insurers, that individuals pay all charges, and that its invoices carry no CPT or diagnosis codes so that patients may not submit them to an insurer; employer-eligible participants are billed to the employer. Cleveland Clinic directs cost and insurance questions to its corporate health consultant. Treat both as self-pay unless your employer sponsors you.
How much does the Cooper Clinic executive physical cost?
Per its website, Cooper Clinic runs a one-day comprehensive preventive exam with same-day results and invites you to discuss pricing on enquiry; no price is published. Companies can open a corporate executive-health account.
What is the China equivalent of a US executive physical, and what does it cost?
Through SinoCareLink, a Premium checkup at a Grade 3A hospital is $599 for men or $699 for women, a Personalized Screening starts at $599 in Shanghai or $799 in Beijing, and a Peking Union Medical College Hospital package is $1,499–1,699. Cardiac and imaging add-ons are priced separately — coronary CT angiography $200, whole-body MRI from $399, whole-body PET-CT from $1,299 in Shenzhen — so a Premium checkup with coronary CT angiography and an echocardiogram comes to $899 for men or $999 for women, before any MRI or PET-CT.
What do I lose by flying to China instead?
Same-day results and a same-day physician summary, a single building covering audiology, ophthalmology and dermatology, a long-term physician relationship, employer billing, and the absence of a long-haul flight. Preliminary findings are discussed on the day in China, but the full English report follows in two to three weeks.
Is a China checkup the same quality as a US executive physical?
The programs are not clinically equivalent and we do not claim they are. Chinese packages run at Grade 3A hospitals (the $399 1.5T whole-body MRI tier is at a licensed outpatient imaging clinic), and the report is written by the hospital's physicians and translated into English; what differs is scope, follow-up and turnaround, as listed above. Discuss which tests you actually need with your own doctor before choosing either.
