This blog explains what a full body checkup is, why it matters, how to choose the right package, typical price bands, reputable providers in India, and, most importantly, the actual profiles and tests commonly included in basic, standard, advanced, and master-level wellness packages. Use it to pick a package that matches your age, lifestyle, and medical history (not just the biggest “test count”).

What is a Full Body Checkup Package?
A full body checkup (also called a preventive health checkup) is a pre-planned bundle of blood and urine tests used to screen your overall health. Instead of ordering tests one-by-one, a bundled package brings together essential profiles (liver, kidney, lipid, diabetes markers, thyroid, vitamins, etc.) to flag risks early and guide follow-up with your clinician.
Why consider a preventive full body checkup?
Screening may help identify abnormal values early and support timely clinical evaluation. Periodic screening is useful for adults with a family history of metabolic conditions, sedentary jobs, stress, irregular sleep, weight changes, or prior lab abnormalities. You can always interpret results with a qualified clinician.
What profiles does a package usually include?
Most packages are built from these core profiles (linked pages explain each): Thyroid, Diabetes, Cardiac risk markers, Lipid profile, Liver (LFT), Kidney (KFT), Complete hemogram, Vitamins, Elements & metals, Metabolic, and urine analysis. Advanced bundles may add autoimmune, inflammatory, and specialised markers based on medical advice.
Types of full body checkup packages
- Basic wellness – Core screening (Lipid, LFT, KFT, Thyroid, CBC, Urine, basic glucose). Good for first-time screening or annual baseline.
- Standard wellness – Basic + diabetes panel (HbA1c), extended lipids, and 1 to 2 vitamins (B12, D). Often considered for adults without known medical conditions, based on individual risk assessment.
- Advanced wellness – Standard + cardiac risk markers, complete vitamin panel, iron studies, urine microalbumin, and extended elements/metabolic profile. Can be considered for individuals with metabolic risk indicators, depending on the clinical context.
- Master/executive wellness – Comprehensive multi-profile screening with expanded inflammatory/autoimmune/metals and additional risk markers. Should be selected in consultation with a healthcare professional when clinically appropriate.
How to choose the right package (don’t chase “test count”)
- Start with your context: age, symptoms, medical/family history, medications, and prior lab reports.
- Prioritise relevance over volume: a focused standard/advanced package with the right biomarkers is better than a larger bundle of low-value add-ons.
- Match to goals: general screening – Standard; lifestyle/metabolic risks – Advanced; complex history or clinician-led review – Master.
- Plan follow-up: discuss abnormal results with a doctor; don’t self-diagnose or alter medication without advice.

FAQs
How often should a full body checkup be done?
The appropriate frequency depends on age, medical history, family history, and existing risk factors. A healthcare professional can advise an interval suited to individual circumstances.
Does a higher test count mean a better package?
Not necessarily. Clinical relevance is more important than total test count. Screening panels should align with medical context rather than marketing size.
Should I choose Master-level packages for better safety?
Advanced panels should be selected when clinically appropriate. Ordering extensive panels without medical indication may not improve health outcomes.
Can these tests diagnose disease?
Screening panels identify abnormal laboratory values. Diagnosis typically requires clinical examination and, when necessary, additional testing.
Prices: Current Trend
In India, offer prices for full body checkups typically range from ₹799 to ₹9,000, depending on brand, city, logistics (home sample vs. walk-in), and the specific tests included (advanced cardiac markers and comprehensive vitamin/element panels increase cost). MRP is usually higher than limited-time offers.
Tip: focus on medical suitability and quality controls (NABL/CAP-aligned processes) rather than the biggest “test count.”
