Prenuvo Wants $2,499. These 10 Clinics Abroad Would Like a Word
Updated October 2026
A whole-body MRI in the US starts at $999 and climbs fast. We went hunting for hospitals and imaging centres abroad that actually publish their prices, from Istanbul and Bangkok to Budapest, Warsaw, Seoul and right here in Lisbon. Real numbers, official links, zero made-up stats.
Intro
Let’s start with the US benchmark, because that’s the number everyone is quietly panicking about. On its official pricing page, Prenuvo lists its Whole Body Scan (about 50 minutes) at $2,499, a shorter Focused Scan (head to mid-thigh, about 25 to 30 minutes) at $1,199, and annual memberships from $2,499 (Comprehensive, which bundles the whole-body scan with labs) up to $3,999 for Executive ($4,499 in New York). Prenuvo says the scans are not covered by insurance and offers financing through Affirm.
Ezra (now part of Function) lists its 22-minute MRI Scan covering head, neck, abdomen and pelvis at $999 ($899 with a Function membership), the MRI Scan with Spine (47 minutes) at $1,699 ($1,499 with Function), and a two-part Skeletal and Neurological scan at $3,999. Ezra is upfront that its scan does not cover the chest, lungs, heart, breasts, arms and legs, or colon, and notes HSA/FSA funds may apply.
So, what does the rest of the world charge? Some places are selling the same idea (an MRI from head to thigh with no referral needed). Others are selling the classic Asian-style executive check-up: half a day of bloodwork, ultrasound, ECG, specialist consults and a printed report, often with a breakfast voucher thrown in, because apparently being fasted and prodded deserves a croissant. They are not the same product, so we’ve flagged which is which in every entry.
Where we’ve converted to US dollars, it’s approximate, using exchange rates from 25 October 2026, rounded. Your card provider will have its own opinion.
How we picked: every clinic here publishes a price (or, in one case, a clear package list with price on request) on its own official website, and we checked each page in October 2026. We favoured big, established hospital groups and imaging chains in cities people already want to visit, plus one pick in Portugal because, well, we live here. We did not include prices from forums, ads or third-party brokers. Packages, eligibility and prices change, so always get a written quote before you book a flight.
Not medical advice: This is a travel and price comparison, not a recommendation to get scanned. Screening healthy people with whole-body MRI is genuinely debated among doctors, scans can turn up harmless findings that lead to more tests, and the right check-up depends on your age, history and risk factors. Talk to your own doctor first, and ask any clinic exactly what is and isn’t included.
1. Acıbadem Premium Check-Up (Istanbul, Turkey)
The hook: The one that puts a whole-body MRI inside a 60-test check-up for less than a Prenuvo scan on its own.
Acıbadem is one of Turkey’s best-known private hospital groups, and its international check-up pages list two Premium Check-Up Programs, one for men and one for women, each from $2,200. The headline detail: both include a whole-body MRI, wrapped inside a full check-up rather than sold as a standalone scan.
The Premium Women’s program is listed at 60 tests, including mammography, bone density measurement, 42 laboratory tests and six specialist examinations. The Premium Men’s program is listed at 61 tests, including a low-dose chest CT and 46 laboratory tests with PSA. For comparison, Prenuvo’s whole-body scan alone is $2,499.
Before you start pricing flights to Istanbul, read the small print: Acıbadem’s international page says the final price is confirmed in a written quote before you travel, and flights and accommodation are not included. If you don’t want the MRI, there’s also a Comprehensive Check-Up listed from EUR 750 (about $840). Acıbadem’s Turkish site shows check-up packages with “Fiyat Sor” (ask for a price), so request your quote in writing.
Key Features
- Premium Men’s and Premium Women’s Check-Up Programs from $2,200 each, both including whole-body MRI
- Women’s: 60 tests incl. mammography, bone density, 42 labs, 6 specialist exams
- Men’s: 61 tests incl. low-dose chest CT and 46 labs with PSA
- Comprehensive Check-Up (no MRI) from EUR 750
- Written quote before travel; travel and hotel not included
Best For: People who want an MRI and a proper head-to-toe check-up in one trip, with a Bosphorus ferry ride as the recovery plan

2. Medicover Hospital (Warsaw, Poland)
The hook: A whole-body MRI for 1,900 zł, which is roughly what some people spend on a Warsaw weekend’s worth of pierogi and vodka tastings.
Medicover is a big private healthcare group in Poland, and its Warsaw hospital publishes an MRI price list online. The line you’re looking for is “Rezonans magnetyczny całego ciała” (whole-body MRI): 1,900 zł, which works out at about $484.
The same price list is handy if you only want one area checked: head MRI at 890 zł, abdominal MRI at 1,110 zł and chest MRI at 1,110 zł. That’s the beauty of a published menu. You can see exactly what you’re paying for before anyone hands you a paper gown.
This is a scan, not a full check-up with consults and bloodwork, so think of it as the closest Polish cousin of an Ezra-style appointment. Ask in advance which body areas the whole-body protocol covers, whether contrast is used, and when (and in what language) you’ll get the radiologist’s report.
Key Features
- Whole-body MRI: 1,900 zł (about $484)
- Head MRI 890 zł; abdomen 1,110 zł; chest 1,110 zł
- Published online price list from Medicover’s Warsaw hospital
- Scan only, no package of labs or consults
Best For: Price-checkers who want the cheapest published whole-body MRI on this list and a city break attached

3. Bumrungrad International Hospital (Bangkok, Thailand)
The hook: The check-up menu is so long it has tiers within tiers, and the starter option costs less than a nice dinner in New York.
Bumrungrad, on Sukhumvit Soi 3 in Bangkok, has been a medical-travel name for years, and it publishes a 2026 Health Check-up Package Comparison with prices in Thai baht that include the doctor’s fee and are valid until 31 December 2026.
The range starts with the Regular package at THB 7,000 (about $207). The Executive package for men is THB 16,300 (about $483) and, according to Bumrungrad, includes a SevenAge biological-age test, tumour markers and a whole-abdomen ultrasound, taking roughly three to four hours. From there you can climb to Executive with exercise stress test (THB 22,800 for men), Executive Wellness (THB 29,500), Comprehensive (THB 34,900, about $1,034) and the Comprehensive Vitality package for men (THB 68,400). There’s also a Holistic package for ages 55 to 69 at THB 49,500.
These are check-ups, not whole-body MRI packages, so compare them with Prenuvo’s labs-plus-scan memberships rather than the scan alone. Female versions of some packages are priced differently, so check the comparison PDF for your exact package.
Key Features
- 2026 packages from THB 7,000 (Regular) to THB 68,400 (Comprehensive Vitality, male)
- Executive (male) THB 16,300 with SevenAge biological-age test, tumour markers, whole-abdomen ultrasound
- Prices include doctor’s fee, valid to 31 Dec 2026
- About 3 to 4 hours for the Executive package
- Address: 33 Sukhumvit 3, Bangkok
Best For: First-timers who want a polished international-patient experience and a clear published menu
Official site: See the 2026 package comparison

4. Affidea Budapest (Budapest, Hungary)
The hook: A whole-body MRI in a city where the after-party is a thermal bath. We don’t make the rules.
Affidea runs diagnostic centres across Europe, and its Hungarian site publishes an MRI price list. The whole-body MRI without contrast (“MR Teljes test natív”) is listed at 198,500 Ft, about $607. A whole-spine MRI is listed at 142,500 Ft (about $436), if your back is the thing that’s actually been sending you passive-aggressive messages.
The Budapest centres listed on the page are Affidea Bank Center Diagnostic and Gastroenterology Centre at Szabadság tér 7 (right by the Parliament end of downtown Pest) and Affidea Váci Greens Health Centre at Föveny utca 4-6. Ask which location performs the whole-body scan when you book.
Like Warsaw, this is a scan rather than a full check-up. The upside is a clear price and a very walkable city. The downside is that you’ll need to sort out whether you want a report in English, and what happens if something shows up, before you go.
Key Features
- Whole-body MRI without contrast: 198,500 Ft (about $607)
- Whole-spine MRI: 142,500 Ft
- Budapest centres at Szabadság tér 7 and Föveny u. 4-6
- Scan only, no package of labs or consults
Best For: Spa lovers who want to follow an MRI with a long soak at Széchenyi

5. Vista Health Full-Body MRI (London, UK)
The hook: The closest thing to Prenuvo and Ezra on this list, just with more drizzle and a better accent.
Vista Health sells self-referral full-body MRI scans in three tiers, with prices that include the radiologist’s report and all images. Silver (brain, abdomen and pelvis) is £765 (about $1,023), Gold adds the whole spine and takes about 1 hour 20 minutes at £1,345, and Platinum adds a cardiac scan, about 1 hour 40 minutes, at £1,845. A prostate MRI add-on is £400 more.
Silver lines up neatly against Ezra’s $999 head-to-pelvis scan, and Platinum sits a little under Prenuvo’s $2,499 whole body scan once you convert. Vista also offers 0% interest spread over three months.
Besides London, Vista lists centres in Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Milton Keynes and Scotland, so if you’re doing a UK trip anyway, you can book wherever fits your itinerary.
Key Features
- Silver £765 (brain, abdomen, pelvis)
- Gold £1,345 (adds whole spine, about 1h20)
- Platinum £1,845 (adds cardiac, about 1h40)
- Prostate MRI add-on +£400
- Prices include report and all images; 0% interest over 3 months
Best For: Americans who want the Prenuvo-style experience in English with a cheaper sticker

6. Bangkok Hospital Headquarters (Bangkok, Thailand)
The hook: Packages named like perfume (Essence, Prestige, Signature) and a food coupon at the end. Thailand understands customer experience.
Bangkok Hospital publishes its 2026 annual health check-up packages with prices in Thai baht, organised by age group. The entry-level Essence package for under-30s is THB 5,500 (about $163), and the page shows its normal price as THB 12,355. Superior for ages 30 to 40 is THB 13,500.
The Prestige packages are THB 15,900 for men and THB 22,000 for women without an exercise stress test, or THB 18,900 and THB 25,000 with one. For 50-plus there’s Signature (THB 28,000 men, THB 33,500 women), and the Longevity package for 60-plus is THB 31,500 for men (about $933) and THB 35,000 for women. Packages take one to six hours depending on the tier, and they include a food coupon, because nobody should do fasting bloodwork without a reward.
Like Bumrungrad, these are check-ups rather than whole-body MRIs. If you’re travelling to Bangkok anyway, it’s worth comparing the two side by side, since the tiers don’t line up exactly.
Key Features
- Essence (under 30): THB 5,500
- Prestige: THB 15,900 men / 22,000 women (no stress test)
- Signature (50+): THB 28,000 men / 33,500 women
- Longevity (60+): THB 31,500 men / 35,000 women
- 1 to 6 hours; food coupon included
Best For: Age-specific check-ups, especially if you’re 50-plus and want a package built around that

7. Samsung Medical Center (Seoul, South Korea)
The hook: Korea does check-ups the way it does skincare: in many steps, very thoroughly, and with zero shame about it.
Samsung Medical Center in Seoul’s Gangnam district has an International Health Services team and publishes its screening packages in English. The Primary package (about 3 hours) is KRW 1,874,000 for men and KRW 2,323,000 for women (about $1,415 and $1,753).
From there it gets serious. Executive on Cancer (about 5 hours) adds low-dose chest CT, abdominal CT, endoscopy and colonoscopy at KRW 2,838,000 for men and 3,550,000 for women. Executive (about 4 hours, with echocardiography) is KRW 2,990,000 and 3,439,000. The Premium package takes seven to eight hours and includes brain MRI and MRA, a PET-CT for those 40 and over and a coronary calcium CT, at KRW 7,857,000 for men (about $5,931) and KRW 8,216,000 for women.
There’s no whole-body MRI on the menu, but you can add a brain MRI and MRA (KRW 1,500,000), low-dose chest CT (KRW 200,000) or coronary calcium CT (KRW 185,000) to a package. Contact the international team at ihs.smc@samsung.com or +82-2-3410-0200.
Key Features
- Primary (3 hrs): KRW 1,874,000 men / 2,323,000 women

8. Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)
The hook: A long list of blood tests, an ultrasound and a pap smear option, for about the price of a nice pair of trainers.
Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur, on Jalan Ampang and part of the IHH Healthcare group, publishes its Premium Plus screening packages online. The men’s version is RM 1,280 (about $313) and the women’s is RM 1,494 (about $366).
The package list includes a doctor’s consultation, a long blood panel (full blood count, kidney and liver function, fasting sugar and HbA1c, lipids, thyroid TSH/T3/T4, vitamin D, hepatitis B screening and more), cancer markers (PSA and CA 19-9 for men; CA 19-9, CA 15-3 and CA 125 for women), AI fundus screening, chest X-ray, ECG, abdomen and pelvis ultrasound, audiometry and a review of results. The women’s version adds a liquid-based pap smear.
Add-ons are priced too: adding a treadmill stress ECG brings it to RM 1,573 for men and RM 1,787 for women, and the women’s bundle with stress ECG, breast ultrasound and 3D mammogram is RM 2,376 (about $582).
Key Features

9. CUF PREVENIR Check-Up (Lisbon, Portugal)
The hook: Our Portugal pick, for when you want a check-up and a pastel de nata within the same postcode.
CUF is one of Portugal’s largest private healthcare groups, and its PREVENIR check-up has a published price. PREVENIR is €295 (about $330) and includes two general practice consultations, lab tests, chest X-ray, ECG, audiogram, abdominal ultrasound, a visual exam and a final report. PREVENIR+ is €530 (about $594) and adds more extensive lab tests and a kidney ultrasound.
In Lisbon, CUF says you book at the CUF Belém Clinic on Rua Manuel Maria Viana 4 (phone 968 321 972), which puts you in the same neighbourhood as the Belém pastry shop with the famous queue. In Porto, it’s offered at CUF Porto Institute and CUF Trindade. If you’re calling from abroad, CUF lists +351 211 527 866.
This isn’t a whole-body MRI, and nobody’s pretending it is. But for a no-frills baseline check-up in Europe, the price is hard to argue with, and you can make it part of a Lisbon trip.
Key Features
- PREVENIR €295: 2 GP consults, labs, chest X-ray, ECG, audiogram, abdominal ultrasound, visual exam, report
- PREVENIR+ €530: adds extended labs and kidney ultrasound

10. Memorial Check-Up (Istanbul, Turkey)
The hook: No price on the website, but a very detailed package list. Price on request, so bring your best “just tell me the number” energy.
Memorial is another major private hospital group in Turkey, with several hospitals in Istanbul. Its check-up page lists VIP and Elite (Elit) programs for men and women, but says prices vary by package and hospital and asks you to fill in a contact form, so this one is price on request.
What you do get is a clear menu. According to Memorial, the men’s VIP Check-Up includes six specialist examinations, three cardiac tests including an exercise ECG and echocardiogram, four radiology exams (chest X-ray, dental panoramic X-ray, thyroid ultrasound and whole-abdomen ultrasound) and 40 lab tests including PSA and testosterone. The women’s VIP version adds mammography (for 40-plus), breast ultrasound, bone density and a smear test.
Memorial says tests usually run from 08:30 to 12:30, with results in two to three working days. That gives you the afternoon for the Grand Bazaar and a few days to eat your way around the city while you wait.
Key Features
- VIP and Elite check-up programs for men and women
- Men’s VIP: 6 specialist exams, exercise ECG and echo, 4 radiology exams, 40 labs incl. PSA
- Women’s VIP adds mammography (40+), breast ultrasound, bone density, smear
- Tests 08:30 to 12:30; results in 2 to 3 working days
- Price on request via contact form
