Public systems in Canada and the UK are stretched, and in the US the bill is often what stops people. A short trip to Taiwan gets the tests done and explained.

Questions travelers ask
Is the advisor a doctor?
No. It's an AI assistant that explains options and plans your trip. It never diagnoses or prescribes. Licensed doctors in Taiwan see you in person and make every medical decision.
Does NEO take a cut of my medical bill?
No. You pay the hospital directly for all medical care. NEO charges only for the interpreter, hotel, car rental and driver.
Do I need a visa?
Travelers from the US, Canada, the UK and Australia can usually visit Taiwan visa-free for short stays. Check the current entry rules before you book.
Will my insurance pay?
Most home plans don't cover planned care abroad. The hospital gives you itemized receipts and an English report in case your insurer accepts a claim.
Who explains my results?
Your doctor in Taiwan, in person, before you fly home. You leave with an English report to share with your own doctor.
What if a test finds something?
Your doctor explains what was found and what to do next. If you need treatment, you can arrange it at home or plan it with us in Taiwan.
Is my chat private?
NEO does not save chats on this page. Please don't share ID numbers or full medical records here. Your coordinator collects reports securely later.

FEES PAID TO THE HOSPITAL
A one-day health check at a major teaching hospital in Taiwan is priced from NT$17,500 to NT$77,500. That is roughly US$533 to US$2,360 at NT$32.8 to the US dollar, the Bank of Taiwan rate on 14 November 2026. These are the hospital's own published self-pay fees, and you pay them at the hospital counter, not to an agent.
Published package prices
The table lists the one-day packages published by the Chang Gung health examination centre in Taoyuan, next to Taipei. Where the fee differs for men and women, both are shown, men first.
| Package | NT$ | About US$ |
|---|---|---|
| Standard full-body check | 17,500 / 19,500 | 533 / 594 |
| Comfort full-body check | 24,500 / 26,500 | 746 / 807 |
| Comfort Deluxe check | 32,000 / 34,000 | 975 / 1,035 |
| Elite check, no endoscopy | 22,500 / 24,500 | 685 / 746 |
| Advanced Elite check, no endoscopy | 37,500 / 40,500 | 1,142 / 1,233 |
| Heart check | 24,000 | 731 |
| Heart check with coronary CT | 46,900 | 1,428 |
| PET/CT check | 54,500 / 57,500 | 1,660 / 1,751 |
| Premier one-day check | 74,500 / 77,500 | 2,269 / 2,360 |
Fees were revised in October 2025 (elite packages in February 2025). Hospitals revise their fees, and fees for international visitors may differ, so the hospital confirms your price before you book.
Common add-ons
- Low-dose lung CT: NT$6,000, about US$183
- MRI, one body region: NT$8,450, about US$257
- Heart ultrasound: NT$4,100, about US$125
- Carotid ultrasound: NT$3,500, about US$107
- Whole-body PET scan: NT$36,500, about US$1,112
National Taiwan University Hospital
The hospital's Health Management Center in central Taipei publishes a standard package that every guest takes, at NT$23,000 for men and NT$25,000 for women (about US$700 and US$761), and additional packages that are added to it.
| Package | NT$ | About US$ |
|---|---|---|
| Standard package (required) | 23,000 / 25,000 | 700 / 761 |
| + Digestive endoscopy package | 13,700 | 417 |
| + Cardiovascular package, Premium | 47,600 | 1,450 |
| + Cardiovascular package, Advanced | 60,600 | 1,846 |
| + Brain vessel and cognitive function package | 38,000 | 1,157 |
| + Vascular elasticity package, Premium | 13,100 | 399 |
| + Vascular elasticity package, Advanced | 16,600 | 506 |
| + Bone health package | 8,200 | 250 |
These figures are from the centre's own price page, read on 14 November 2026. Two things matter for visitors. People without Taiwan's national health insurance are charged under a separate hospital scheme, so the hospital quotes the total in advance. And the booking calendar opens about six months ahead, so this option needs early planning.
What the hospital's price does not cover
- Polyp removal during an endoscopy, which is billed separately.
- Anything a doctor adds after seeing your results, such as a specialist visit or a further scan.
- Flights, meals and your hotel.
What the trip around it costs
NEO Health Journeys does not take any part of the medical bill. We charge only for the trip services you choose: a guide who also interprets at US$100 a day, a business van with a driver at US$100 a day, and hotels in three tiers (US$60 to 99, US$100 to 199, or US$200 and up per night).
An example for one person: the Standard full-body check (about US$533), three nights in a mid-tier hotel, and one day with a guide and a van comes to about US$1,033 to US$1,330 before flights and meals.
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.
Waiting lists in Canada and England are measured in months, and in the United States cost keeps many people from care. A health check in Taiwan can be booked for a date you choose. It answers some needs and not others, and it helps to know which.
What the numbers say
- Canada: the median wait from a family doctor's referral to treatment was 28.6 weeks in 2025 (Fraser Institute, Waiting Your Turn 2025).
- England: 7.28 million cases were on the NHS waiting list in May 2026 (NHS England referral-to-treatment statistics).
- United States: 38% of Americans said they or a family member put off medical care because of the cost (Gallup Health and Healthcare poll, 2022).
What a trip to Taiwan is good for
- A full health check with imaging, done in one day at a major hospital, on a date fixed before you fly.
- Scans you would otherwise wait for, such as a low-dose lung CT or an MRI of one body region, at a published self-pay price.
- A specialist's opinion in person, with your earlier reports reviewed first.
What it is not for
- Emergencies. Call your local emergency number.
- Care that needs many visits over months, unless you can stay or return.
- Replacing your own doctor. Bring the report home and go through it with them.
What a week looks like
Most guests book the check-up for the first or second day, keep the days in between free for Taipei and the north coast, and hear their results before the flight home. One-day packages start at NT$17,500, about US$533, paid to the hospital. The trip services around it are priced by the day, so you can add up your own week with the trip estimator on our home page.
An MRI of one body region costs NT$8,450, about US$257, when it is added to a health check at a major hospital in Taiwan. Paying for the same kind of scan yourself has a median cash price of about US$900 to US$1,500 in the United States, costs £290 to £449 at UK private providers that publish a price, and CA$600 to CA$1,200 at a private clinic in Canada. A scan alone rarely justifies a flight. A full health check with several scans can.

Whole-body PET and whole-body MRI
- Taiwan: a whole-body PET scan is NT$36,500, about US$1,112, as an add-on at the Chang Gung health examination centre. National Taiwan University Hospital's Health Management Center lists a whole-body MRI at about NT$40,000, about US$1,218, as a reference price.
- United States: a PET scan without insurance costs from about US$1,300 to more than US$4,600 (GoodRx).
What the comparison leaves out
- Flights, hotel and your time. Our own day rates are US$100 for a guide who interprets and US$100 for a van with a driver.
- Fees for international visitors can differ from a hospital's published list. The hospital confirms yours before you book.
- Prices at home vary a great deal between imaging centres and hospitals, so ask for a cash price near you before you compare.
- Whether you need a scan at all. That is a question for a doctor, not a price list.
When the trip makes sense
- You want a full check with several tests in one day, and the results explained in person.
- You are facing a long wait at home. Our guide on waiting lists has the numbers.
- You were going to travel to Asia anyway and can add two or three days.
Hospitals in Taiwan sell health checks as fixed packages, and the main differences are whether an endoscopy is included, whether it is done under sedation, and how much imaging comes with it. This page sorts the published packages by what people most often want checked. Which tests you need is for a doctor to say, so use this to prepare your questions.
A general full-body check
- Standard full-body check, NT$17,500 / 19,500 (about US$533 / 594): full-body exam with blood and urine tests, chest and abdominal X-rays, ECG, abdominal ultrasound, specialist consults, and a standard endoscopy without sedation.
- Comfort full-body check, NT$24,500 / 26,500 (about US$746 / 807): everything in the standard check, with the endoscopy done under sedation.
- Comfort Deluxe check, NT$32,000 / 34,000 (about US$975 / 1,035): the comfort check plus a wider cancer-marker screen, bowel-prep meals and a rest room.
A full-body check without an endoscopy
- Elite check, no endoscopy, NT$22,500 / 24,500 (about US$685 / 746): full-body exam plus low-dose lung CT, kidney ultrasound, breast ultrasound for women and cancer markers.
- Advanced Elite check, no endoscopy, NT$37,500 / 40,500 (about US$1,142 / 1,233): the elite check plus heart and carotid ultrasound, an artery stiffness test, a breath test for stomach bacteria and a bone density scan.
Heart
- Heart check, NT$24,000 (about US$731): a cardiovascular exam. Offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
- Heart check with coronary CT, NT$46,900 (about US$1,428): the heart check plus a CT scan of the coronary arteries. Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The widest imaging
- PET/CT check, NT$54,500 / 57,500 (about US$1,660 / 1,751): full-body exam plus a whole-body PET/CT scan.
- Premier one-day check, NT$74,500 / 77,500 (about US$2,269 / 2,360): full-body exam plus brain and neck vessel MRI, low-dose lung CT, endoscopy under sedation, heart ultrasound, a wider cancer-marker screen and a personal guide.
The packages above are one-day packages at the Chang Gung health examination centre in Taoyuan, next to Taipei. Where two prices are shown, the lower is for men and the higher is for women.
At National Taiwan University Hospital
The Health Management Center in central Taipei works differently: every guest takes a standard package, at NT$23,000 for men and NT$25,000 for women, and adds packages to it.
- Digestive endoscopy package, NT$13,700 (about US$417): endoscopy of the oesophagus, stomach, duodenum and large intestine.
- Cardiovascular package, Premium, NT$47,600 (about US$1,450): vessel imaging to assess narrowing of the coronary arteries and stroke risk.
- Cardiovascular package, Advanced, NT$60,600 (about US$1,846): the higher tier of the cardiovascular package.
- Brain vessel and cognitive function package, NT$38,000 (about US$1,157): blood tests or brain imaging, with cognitive assessments.
- Vascular elasticity package, Premium, NT$13,100 (about US$399): non-invasive tests of artery stiffness and vessel-lining function.
- Vascular elasticity package, Advanced, NT$16,600 (about US$506): the higher tier of the vascular elasticity package.
- Bone health package, NT$8,200 (about US$250): bone health and fracture-risk assessment.
Visitors without Taiwan's national health insurance are charged under a separate hospital scheme, and the booking calendar opens about six months ahead. Full price tables for both hospitals are in our price guide.
Three questions to bring to your own doctor
- Given my age and family history, which of these tests are worth doing, and which are not?
- Is there any reason I should avoid sedation, contrast dye or radiation?
- Which earlier results should I bring so the doctors in Taiwan can compare?
