An Executive Physical in Beijing: Cost & Where to Book
An executive physical in Beijing costs about $650–1,100 at the international/VIP checkup center of a public Grade IIIA flagship, and $1,600–3,200 for the premium executive programs at private international hospitals — for a bundle that would commonly run $2,500–5,000+ at a US private clinic. What Beijing adds to the deal is the deepest specialist bench in the country: the capital's flagships — PUMCH above all — sit at the top of China's national hospital rankings, so any flagged result can be walked straight into a top-tier specialist consult in the same building.
Value route: the executive tier at a public flagship's international/VIP checkup center (PUMCH International Medical Services, China-Japan Friendship, PKU Third) — ~$650–1,100, top-of-country medicine, English summary on request. Comfort route: a private international's executive program (Beijing United Family, Raffles Medical, Oasis) — $1,600–3,200, English end-to-end. One fasted morning of testing either way; plan 3–5 days in town so the physician review and English report land before you fly.
What a Beijing executive physical includes
"Executive" is the tier above a standard annual physical: broader labs, more imaging, and a senior-physician review at the end. A typical Beijing executive package bundles:
- Consultation & vitals — history, physician exam, BMI/blood pressure, and a closing review of every result.
- Full laboratory panel — blood count, liver and kidney function, lipids, glucose/HbA1c, thyroid, urinalysis, and a tumor-marker panel.
- Cardiac testing — resting ECG, often cardiac ultrasound; treadmill stress testing and coronary calcium scoring appear in upper tiers.
- Imaging — chest X-ray or low-dose CT, abdominal and thyroid ultrasound; breast/gynecological or prostate modules by sex and age.
- Add-ons — gastroscopy/colonoscopy, whole-body MRI, or PET-CT can be attached to any tier; see the endoscopy cost guide and whole-body MRI guide.
Package names vary by hospital — compare the line items, not the label, and match them to what you actually want screened. Our national executive physical cost guide breaks down the components in detail.

Where to book it
The public route: Beijing's Grade IIIA flagships run international or VIP tracks that keep the executive tier separate from the general outpatient crowds. PUMCH's International Medical Services is the marquee option — the hospital consistently ranks first in China's national league tables. China-Japan Friendship Hospital has run an international department for decades, and Peking University Third Hospital pairs its checkup center with nationally known sports-medicine and orthopedics depth. The full comparison is in our best hospitals in Beijing guide.
The private route: Beijing United Family (JCI-accredited), Raffles Medical's Beijing hospital, and Oasis International Hospital sell executive programs designed for expatriates and visiting executives — English by default and reports written for a foreign GP. See the Raffles Medical Beijing guide and the United Family cost breakdown.
How long it takes
The core executive package is built for one fasted morning — roughly 3–5 hours — with results consolidated over the following days. Sedated endoscopy or PET-CT add a second day because of separate preparation. If you're traveling in for it, plan a 3–5 day trip: testing early, results review and English report before you fly, the Great Wall in between. Timing details are in how many days a checkup takes, and the fasting checklist in how to prepare.
Booking and English results
Book the international/VIP track directly (email or phone for private internationals; WeChat or concierge for public centers — lead time is typically a few days to two weeks), and confirm three things up front: a physician-reviewed English summary, itemized lab values, and downloadable DICOM imaging. That's what makes the physical usable with your doctor at home — the step-by-step is in our English results guide.
Beijing or Shanghai for the executive tier?
Pricing is nearly identical, so choose by texture: Beijing for the deepest public-flagship specialist bench (and PUMCH's name at the top of the report), Shanghai for the largest concentration of private international hospitals. The Shanghai executive physical guide is the mirror of this page, and the two-city package comparison puts every tier side by side.

Can it be done in one day?
Yes — the core package is one fasted morning (3–5 hours). Sedated endoscopy or PET-CT usually add a second day. Plan 3–5 days in town so the physician review and English report land before you leave.
Public flagship or private international?
