Hello, my name is Dr. Moffat. I'm a physician.
What tests are in the package?
A health screening package is a set of checkups and tests done in one visit. What it includes varies by center, package, age and sex.
Many packages include a physical exam, blood pressure, height, weight and a urine test. Blood tests often check cholesterol, blood sugar and blood counts. Some add vision and hearing checks, a heart tracing called an ECG, an exercise stress test or an ultrasound. A clinician often goes over the results with you.
Call the office if you have questions about your visit or your care. This is general information, not personal instructions. Your clinician can tell you which tests apply to you.
Thanks for watching.
