What does a health check cost on average in Belgium?
It is interesting to look at what these studies would cost in mainstream care if you booked them separately.
In the regular healthcare sector, prices are often fragmented and you can expect to pay a total of between €460 and €810 if you combine several examinations. Thus, if you were to schedule all examinations from, say, the Cardio Check separately, the sum of individual consultations and technical services often exceeds the package price. Moreover, in regular care, you lose a lot of time due to various relocations and months of waiting lists.For comprehensive medical screening At Doktershuis Antverpia, you should expect to pay between €350 and €1,500, depending on the chosen formula and any optional extras. A total package is faster, more comprehensive and often more economical than fragmented regular care.
