In this guide
Using Cleveland Clinic's published 2024 self-pay schedule, the recommended core services of its executive checkup add up to about $3,440 for women and $3,560 for men. Age- and risk-based add-ons, such as a stress test ($860), and a screening colonoscopy ($3,070) come on top. These self-pay prices can't be billed to insurance.
Why this example
Most US providers don't publish all-in checkup prices. Cleveland Clinic's Executive Health program publishes an itemized self-pay schedule, which makes it a rare, concrete benchmark.

What insured patients would pay instead
Many items on this list are guideline screenings that most private plans cover at no cost in-network, such as blood pressure checks, some lab tests, mammograms within the recommended ages, and colorectal screening. If you're insured, you'd usually get those through your regular doctor for free and pay only for extras.
So this price list matters most for:
- People without insurance
- People with high deductibles who haven't met them
- Anyone who wants the extras (coaching, fitness assessment, broad testing) or the convenience of doing everything in one day
How to compare with prices abroad
When you compare this with a package abroad, compare the same items:
- List the tests you actually want, ideally after talking to your doctor.
- Price each one here (from this schedule or a hospital's price file).
- Ask hospitals abroad for an itemized quote for the same list.
- Add flights, hotel, days off and travel insurance.
We do exactly this in our three-country comparison.
