Full Body Checkup Available In My Health Insurance?

Hi,
Detailed Answer:
In my opinion, full body check up is a misnomer. There can not be any complete list of examinations or laboratory tests, which can give you a complete fool-proof picture of your body. Besides, subjecting you to unnecessary tests, expenditure on these tests, there is also a shortcoming in this, that it can give you a false assurance about absence of some of the diseases. Whole body scans may miss many small lesions or tumors- particularly presence of early cancerous conditions.
Hence, in my opinion, it is always better to go for a periodic check up with your doctor & get yourself tested or investigated accordingly. This list of tests may be different for each patients depending on age, sex, past history family history as well as presence or absence of certain medical conditions.
