The premium check-up is a multidisciplinary health screening that evaluates metabolic health, heart function, and thyroid status. This examination is performed at St. Martinus-Krankenhaus Düsseldorf in Germany. The complete diagnostic package typically runs around $3,400 (3,350 EUR) and combines specialized testing from a certified diabetes center and a cardiology unit.
St. Martinus-Krankenhaus is an academic teaching hospital of the University of Cologne and part of the Alexianer Group. It holds accreditation as a DDG-certified diabetes center, which supports the metabolic portion of the screening. The facility provides all necessary imaging and laboratory tests on-site for adult patients seeking a preventive health overview.
Patients can also choose specific modules if they do not require the full suite. A consultation at the Westdeutsches Diabetes- und Gesundheitszentrum (WDGZ) may cost around $1,500. The cardiology-specific package is around $1,000, while thyroid-only diagnostics typically run $900. The screening is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to complete the process without an overnight stay. Results are translated and explained during the final consultation to help plan future health steps.
