Wait times · United States

Booking fast isn't the problem.
Booking cheap is.

In the United States, a comprehensive executive physical is not hard to book quickly. It is hard to book cheaply. The same imaging, endoscopy and labs run about $3,700 in a major U.S. metro and about ₩1,000,000–1,150,000 (≈ $685–790) at our Korean partner centers, completed the same day. This page compares the two directly. Every figure on this page is a provisional placeholder, not yet checked against a named source or measurement date. See the methodology line under the comparison table for exactly what is still pending.

1–2 wks

Wait for an MRI (self-pay)

Cash-pay imaging in a major metro. The U.S. wait problem is smaller than the price problem.

Real partner-center price. See /pricing/.

2–3 wks

Full written report

Same-day consult on preliminary findings; the full report varies by centre. KMI and Hanshin Medipia publish two to three weeks; Hanaro publishes no figure at all (measured 2026-07-28). You are not in Korea waiting for it. Reports are sent by email (or by post, at one centre) once ready, after you have already flown home, so a longer report does not mean a longer trip.
