Getting a health check in Taiwan as a visitor: how it works

You choose a package, we confirm the date and your fee with the hospital before you fly, a guide takes you through the day, and you pay the hospital yourself at its counter. Here is each step.

1. Decide what you want checked

One-day packages differ mainly in three things: whether the endoscopy is done with sedation, how much heart imaging is included, and whether a PET/CT scan is part of it. Some packages leave out the endoscopy altogether. Add-ons such as a low-dose lung CT or an MRI of one body region can be booked on top. If you are not sure, tell us what worries you and your doctor's advice at home, and we will show you which published packages cover it. We do not diagnose or recommend treatment.

2. Book before you fly

Send us your dates and the package you want. The hospital confirms the appointment and the fee that applies to you as an international visitor. We quote the trip services separately: guide, hotel and car. Entry rules depend on your passport, so check the Taiwan Bureau of Consular Affairs before you buy flights.

3. Prepare as the hospital tells you

The hospital sends preparation instructions for your package, for example fasting, or bowel preparation before a colonoscopy. Follow the hospital's instructions rather than a general guide like this one, and tell the hospital about any medicines you take.

4. The check-up day

Your guide meets you at the hotel, rides with you to the hospital and interprets at registration and between examination rooms. You pay the hospital directly at its counter. We tell you beforehand which payment methods the hospital accepts.

5. Results

A physician goes through your results with you in person, and you leave with a report in English. Some results, such as laboratory analysis of a tissue sample, can take longer, so ask at the hospital when each part will be ready.

6. If a test finds something

The hospital's doctors decide what happens next. If they advise a specialist visit and you want it done while you are still in Taiwan, we help arrange the appointment and adjust your hotel and transport. Take the full report home to your own doctor.
