What’s Included in a Concierge Annual Health Check? Advanced Screenings, Labs & More

A concierge annual health check typically includes a comprehensive physical examination, advanced blood biomarker panels, cardiovascular and metabolic risk screening, age-appropriate cancer screenings, a full review of lifestyle factors like stress and sleep, and a personalized prevention plan — all delivered in an extended, unrushed visit with your dedicated physician.

If you’ve only ever had a standard 15-minute physical, the scope of a concierge health check can be surprising. Here’s a detailed look at what to expect.

What Tests Are Done in a Concierge Annual Health Check?

Concierge annual health checks go far beyond the basic labs of a routine physical. While exact panels vary by practice and by patient, a comprehensive evaluation commonly covers:

Core laboratory testing

• Complete blood count (CBC) and comprehensive metabolic panel
• Advanced lipid testing (beyond standard cholesterol — often including ApoB and Lp(a), stronger predictors of heart risk)
• Blood sugar and insulin resistance markers (HbA1c, fasting insulin)
• Inflammation markers such as hs-CRP
• Full thyroid panel
• Key vitamins and minerals (vitamin D, B12, ferritin, magnesium)
• Hormone panels appropriate to your age and sex

Cardiovascular screening

• Blood pressure trends and resting ECG
• Cardiovascular risk scoring based on advanced lipids and family history
• Referral for coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring or imaging when indicated

Cancer and preventive screenings

• Age- and risk-appropriate screenings (colon, breast, cervical, prostate, skin)
• Coordination of colonoscopy, mammography, or low-dose CT when due

Whole-person assessment

• Body composition, weight trends, and fitness review
• Stress, burnout, and mental well-being evaluation — a signature focus of Dr. Calm’s integrative approach
• Sleep quality, nutrition, and lifestyle review

What Happens During the Visit Itself?

During the visit, your physician conducts a head-to-toe physical exam, reviews every test result with you line by line, and connects the data to how you actually feel and live. Expect 60–90+ minutes of direct physician time — enough to ask every question and understand every number.

A typical concierge annual health check visit includes:

1. In-depth history review — medical, family, lifestyle, and stress history.
2. Complete physical examination — unhurried and thorough.
3. Results walkthrough — your doctor explains what each biomarker means and how yours compare to optimal (not just “normal”) ranges.
4. Risk assessment — identifying your personal risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and stress-related illness.
5. Plan creation — a written, personalized protocol covering nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, supplements or medications, and follow-up testing.

What Do You Receive After the Health Check?

After the health check, you receive a personalized health plan — a clear, written protocol based on your biology and goals — plus scheduled follow-ups to track progress. At an integrative practice like Dr. Calm’s, this plan addresses root causes rather than just symptoms, and may include:

• Targeted nutrition and lifestyle changes
• A stress-mastery plan (Dr. Calm is a physician-author specializing in stress management)
• Medication or supplement recommendations where appropriate
• A re-testing schedule for the markers that matter most for you
• Coordination with specialists if anything needs deeper evaluation

How Long Does a Concierge Annual Health Check Take?

Plan for roughly two to three hours in total, sometimes split across visits: lab draws are often done ahead of time, and the main physician visit typically runs 60–90 minutes or more. Many patients complete testing one week and review results with the doctor the next — so the conversation is grounded in real data.

How Should You Prepare for Your Annual Health Check?

Preparation is simple: fast if instructed for blood work (usually 8–12 hours), bring your medication and supplement list, gather any prior medical records or recent test results, and write down your questions and health goals in advance. Because concierge visits are unrushed, everything you bring will actually get discussed.

FAQ

Q1. What tests are included in a concierge annual health check?

Most concierge annual health checks include a complete blood count, metabolic panel, advanced lipid markers (like ApoB), blood sugar and insulin testing, inflammation markers, thyroid and hormone panels, vitamin levels, cardiovascular risk screening, and age-appropriate cancer screenings — tailored to your personal risk profile.

Q2. How long does a concierge annual health check take?

Expect 60–90+ minutes of direct physician time, plus separate lab work. Many practices split it into two visits: testing first, then an unhurried results review and planning session about a week later.

Q3. Are advanced tests like ApoB or calcium scoring really necessary?

For many adults, yes. Advanced markers such as ApoB, Lp(a), and coronary artery calcium scores can reveal heart disease risk years before standard cholesterol tests or symptoms would — giving you time to prevent problems instead of treating them later.

Q4. Does a concierge health check cover mental health and stress?

At integrative practices like Dr. Calm’s, absolutely. Stress, burnout, sleep, and emotional well-being are assessed alongside physical markers, because chronic stress directly drives blood pressure, blood sugar, inflammation, and heart disease risk.

Q5. How do I prepare for my concierge annual health check?

Fast 8–12 hours before blood work if instructed, bring a list of medications and supplements, gather previous medical records, and write down your top health questions and goals so your physician can address them all during your extended visit.

Q6. Will my results be explained to me in plain language?

Yes — that’s a core benefit of the concierge model. Your physician walks through every result with you, explains what each marker means for your health, and translates the data into a clear, actionable plan.
