The Data: Comparing US and Shanghai Protocols

Medicare Annual Wellness Visit vs Comprehensive Physical

While many US retirees rely on the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit (AWV), it often lacks the comprehensive blood work and advanced imaging required for early detection. The AWV is designed as a preventive planning visit—not a comprehensive physical examination. It excludes blood tests, imaging, and deep physical exams that are essential for detecting early-stage conditions.

Our Shanghai Longevity Protocol bridges this gap, offering a Full Body Bio-Audit with comprehensive imaging and Clinical Grade Whole Genome Sequencing at a fraction of US out-of-pocket costs. If you find the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit lacks the blood work or imaging you need, our Shanghai-based protocol provides comprehensive diagnostics with 48-hour results.

Out of Pocket Cost for Advanced Imaging: Shanghai vs USA

Why does advanced medical imaging cost less in China than a US deductible? China's high diagnostic volume—over 200 million screenings annually—creates significant infrastructure arbitrage. The same Siemens 3T MRI equipment costs 70% less to operate due to economies of scale.

Independent Genetic Testing Outside US Insurance Databases

For high-net-worth individuals concerned about data privacy, our Clinical Grade Whole Genome Sequencing is performed in Shanghai, keeping your genetic data outside US insurance databases. This provides biological sovereignty—your genetic information won't affect future insurance premiums or coverage decisions.

Cash-pay medical screening ensures complete privacy. Unlike US-based genetic testing services that may share data with insurance companies or pharmaceutical researchers, your Shanghai test results remain entirely under your control. All data is provided on encrypted USB drives that you take home.

Same-Day Screening and Rapid Results

Looking for the fastest way to get a preventative colonoscopy? US colonoscopy wait times can reach 6 months. Our Shanghai screening centers offer same-day or next-day colonoscopy as part of the comprehensive Preventative Cancer Screening package.

How to get a full body scan without insurance referral? In the US, full body scans typically require physician referral and prior authorization. Our Precision Medical Tourism China program offers direct access to 3T MRI screening without referrals. Book your Full Body Bio-Audit directly and receive same-day appointments with 48-hour results.
