Executive health screenings in the United States can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $7,500 for a comprehensive full-day assessment. The same battery of tests — often with a more personalised, unhurried experience — is available at Mexico City's top diagnostic centres for between $650 and $1,300. For many patients, a single trip combines a thorough health audit with a short city break, all at a fraction of what they would pay at home.
What Is Included in a Full Executive Health Screen?
A typical MexiaHealth-coordinated executive screen at Angeles Pedregal, Hospital ABC, or Punta Medica includes: a full physical examination with a board-certified internist, complete blood panel (80+ biomarkers including cardiac enzymes, thyroid, hormonal and tumour markers), 12-lead ECG, cardiac stress test with echocardiogram, abdominal ultrasound, chest X-ray, pulmonary function test, colonoscopy or virtual colonoscopy (age-dependent), ophthalmologic assessment, and dermatological skin check. Results are consolidated into a comprehensive English-language report and reviewed with you by your physician before you leave.

The Experience Difference
Mexico City's executive health programmes are designed for international VIP patients. You are assigned a single coordinator who schedules all tests in sequence so you are never kept waiting. Lunch is typically included. Your physician speaks English and your results are explained in a 30–45-minute consultation at the end of the day. There are no insurance forms to complete, no referral bureaucracy, and no six-week wait for an appointment — most screens are available within 72 hours of your enquiry.
Practical tip: Many patients pair an executive screen with a 3–4 day Polanco stay, taking meetings or leisure time between tests. The Polanco medical district puts top hospitals, Michelin-starred restaurants, and some of Latin America's finest hotels within a five-minute radius.
Who Benefits Most
Executive screens are most popular among self-employed individuals and small business owners who are not covered by employer health plans, Canadians who face long waits for diagnostic imaging under their provincial plan, and anyone who simply wants a thorough health audit without the friction of the insurance system. Our oldest patient to use this service was 82. Our youngest was 31, a tech founder who had not had a physical in seven years.
