Frequently Asked Questions

No, it’s for anyone who wants the best in early disease detection and prevention delivered with care and streamlined efficiency in one day and one place.

Three key differences. First, the detail. We supplement your physician’s services with comprehensive disease detection screenings, lifestyle evaluation and education, and a blueprint for long-term health maintenance. Second, your time and convenience. The variety of tests that we do in one day can save you traveling to multiple facilities over a period of weeks. Third, you get lots of quality one-on-one time with each physician on your examining team.

No, referrals are not required.

Our Whole Person Examination™ is the most comprehensive procedure of its kind in the West.It’s been our only service since the Center began in 1981. You get the current and predicted state of your health, and a specific strategy for keeping it, from a focused team of world-class Scripps physicians and healthcare experts. Plus immediate access to the superior diagnostic services and quality care that have made Scripps one of the world’s most trusted names in healthcare for more than 80 years.

Because there’s no single screening tool that can do the whole job of early disease detection.The scans with recognized value are the CT scans for coronary artery scoring, low dose lung screening and bone densitometry because they can detect problems at their earliest onset. Our WholePerson exam can include these scans, but it’s based upon a much more far-reaching combination of proven screening technologies coupled with diagnoses by the appropriate specialists and their peers.

Yes, except for tests applying only to women. And in all tests, our program is equally aggressive for both men and women in its search for hidden problems. For example, heart disease detection and prevention are still being neglected for women but not here. The same is true for cancer surveillance. And we get down to the mind/body issues that can so often affect health, especially in women.

During the morning you’ll be examined and tested by our multidisciplinary team of Scripps specialists. After lunch you’ll have individualized lifestyle consultations with our specialists in clinical psychology, exercise physiology, mind/body therapies and nutrition. With a luxurious massage along the way.

In most cases only one day, but sometimes a day and a half, depending on the testing deemed appropriate for your unique requirements.

You’ll know some results before you leave, and all results and recommendations within 24 hours. Soon thereafter you’ll receive a detailed written report.

Your lead Executive Health physician will let you know promptly and will discuss the recommended follow-up care with you.If you wish we can refer you to recommended specialists in the Scripps healthcare organization, and in most cases we can secure any appointments for you very quickly.

It depends on your age, gender, history and risk factors. Our information packet provides the standard pricing, and when we know your unique requirements we’ll give you a final quote in advance.Follow-up exams normally cost about 50% less.

It may, but we don’t know because we work on a fee-for-service basis. Although we’re not affiliated with any managed care plan or with Medicare, we can give you the documentation that you can submit to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement.

After your first visit, once a year. But your follow-up visits repeat only the tests needed for your age, gender, risk factors and results from your previous exam, and it takes only half a day.
