Routine physical examination website

The first is whether the formal qualifications such as the "Medical Institution Practice License" of the docking institution are publicized; the second is whether customized packages can be matched according to personal conditions such as age, medical history, family history, etc.; and the third is whether it provides post-examination report interpretation, abnormal follow-up and other ground-breaking services. Don't be fooled by low-priced attractions such as 99 yuan for a "full physical examination".

Speaking of which, the first time I stepped into a trap was three years ago. At that time, I just started working and didn’t have much money. I saw an advertisement popping up on a small website for a 99 yuan physical examination for middle-aged and elderly people. I placed an order for my mother without even thinking about it. When we got there, we discovered that it was a small clinic hidden next to an old residential building. The CT machine casing was yellow. My mother’s arm was blue for three days after the blood was taken. The report she got didn’t even have a doctor’s signature. It was full of professional terms. My mother and I looked at each other for half an hour. Except for the words “no abnormality found,” I was completely blind. I couldn’t find anyone I wanted to ask. The website customer service had long lost contact. Oh, by the way, that website didn’t even have a registration number. Then I searched again and it disappeared. Now I’m scared to think about it. If there really is any problem that hasn’t been found out, there’s no place to cry.

There are actually several categories of routine physical examination websites on the market now, and the candidates for different needs are completely different. Friends around me even quarreled about this matter several times. There is a group that does not trust third-party platforms at all. For every physical examination, they only visit the official website of the physical examination department of the local public tertiary hospital. They say that it is a public institution after all, the equipment and doctors are reliable, and they will not add random items to deceive people. The report will be accepted by other hospitals. This is indeed true, but the shortcomings are also obvious: it is true that it is difficult to get a public account. You can't get an appointment half a month in advance at popular times. The package is basically fixed. If you want to add a special screening, you have to line up on site to make up the money. The day of the physical examination is crowded, and you have to wait in line for 40 minutes for a blood draw. You have to go to the hospital to get the report. There is no one to follow up after the examination. If there are abnormalities, you can only go to the outpatient clinic for another check. It is really not friendly to 996 office workers like us.

Some people think that public health examinations are too difficult, and prefer the official websites of chain physical examination institutions such as Pageant and Ciming. You can basically make an appointment within a week on the same day. The environment is comfortable and you don’t have to crowd with outpatients. The package can be adjusted in a small range. After the examination, you can have free breakfast. The customer service will follow you throughout the process. If you have any questions, you can ask them on the spot. But some friends have complained, saying that the sales of this kind of organization are sometimes over-promoted. If you find a small nodule, they will advise you to do genetic testing and tumor screening for thousands of dollars. If your ears are soft, it is easy to spend more money.

As for myself, I now use third-party aggregation physical examination websites more often. As long as the screening is correct, the price/performance ratio is really high. You can compare the package contents, prices, and user reviews of several institutions near your home at the same time, without having to browse websites one by one. The last time I made an appointment for my dad to have a special physical examination at a tertiary hospital, it saved me a whole week of queuing time compared to going to the hospital myself. The platform also provided free report interpretation. The doctor called specifically and said that my dad's pulmonary nodules were old, and he just needed to be reviewed every year. There was no need to worry, and it saved the two of us from pondering over the report and having to attend extra outpatient visits. Of course, this type of platform is indeed a mixed bag. When I choose now, I first scroll to the bottom of the website to see if there is a formal ICP registration, and whether the connecting institution can check the qualifications on the official website of the National Health Commission. If the price is less than 300, it will be directly marked off. In fact, by default in the industry, it includes basic biochemistry, imaging and imaging. For example, the bottom line cost of routine physical examinations for medical and surgical examinations is around 300. Those with prices lower than this are either cutting off necessary items and making up for the cost with useless items such as trace element testing, which has long been stopped by the National Health Commission, or using expired equipment to fool people. It is true that the wool comes from the sheep.

Some people say that all current physical examination websites are just cutting leeks. This is actually a bit too absolute. The essence of a formal platform is a tool for information matching, which saves you from going from agency to agency asking for prices and appointments. You can use it as you like. If you don’t trust it, just go to the official public website to make an appointment and no one will stop you. Anyway, in the final analysis of the physical examination, accurate examination is the first priority. Spending two more minutes to check the qualifications is much more useful than grabbing dozens of coupons, right?
