The comprehensive health examination – thorough, in-depth and in one appointment.

It combines structured internal diagnostics with modern medical examinations and a broad range of laboratory analyses.

At the premium check-up at the InnerMed check-up center in Bühl near Baden-Baden, you will receive a well-founded medical assessment directly at the same appointment thanks to our own practice laboratory – clearly explained and individually classified.

Who is the Premium Check suitable for?

The Premium Check is aimed at people who want to have their health comprehensively and reliably assessed – over and above traditional preventive care.

It is particularly useful for you if one or more of the following points apply to you:

Sie sich beruflich oder privat stark belastet fühlen und sich einen verlässlichen, strukturierten Überblick über Ihre Gesundheit wünschen.

Sie Ihre Gesundheit präventiv und umfassend überprüfen lassen möchten, auch ohne aktuelle Beschwerden, aber mit dem Anspruch auf medizinische Klarheit.

Sie sich körperlich stärker belasten möchten oder bereits belasten z. B. durch Sport, Training, neue Herausforderungen oder erhöhte Leistungsanforderungen.

Sie sich häufiger erschöpft, weniger belastbar oder unsicher fühlen, ohne eine klare Ursache benennen zu können.

Sie gesundheitliche Risiken frühzeitig erkennen möchten, etwa bei familiärer Vorbelastung oder zunehmendem Alter.

Premium check: This is how the check works

Below you can see the individual examination steps of the Premium Check. You will get a clear overview of which medical examinations are carried out and how they build on each other.

The Premium Check takes around 2 hours in total. All examinations and the final medical consultation take place in one appointment.

Step 1: Laboratory analysis in your own practice laboratory

A blood sample and urine sample are taken at the start of the Premium Check. This laboratory analysis examines a particularly broad spectrum of blood and urine values. This allows your state of health to be assessed very precisely – including organ functions, metabolism, cardiovascular system, hormone levels and possible inflammation and risk factors

Among other things, the following are being investigated:

Großes Blutbild

Blutfette (z. B. Cholesterin, LDL, HDL, Triglyceride)

Leber- und Nierenwerte (inkl. erweiterter Parameter)

Schilddrüsenwerte (TSH, fT3, fT4)

Entzündungsmarker (z. B. CRP)

Stoffwechsel- und Herzmarker (z. B. HbA1c, NT-proBNP, Ferritin)

Hormon- und Risikomarker (z. B. Cortisol, PSA, CEA, Testosteron) sowie Vitamin D

Urinstatus

Your benefit

The comprehensive laboratory analysis gives you a very complete overview of almost all important organ, metabolic and risk systems.
Many illnesses or stressful situations can be detected at an early stage and medically classified in conjunction with the other examinations of the Premium Check.

The analysis is carried out entirely in the practice’s own laboratory. This means that all laboratory results are already available at the final medical consultation – with no waiting time and no additional appointment.

Step 2: Cardiovascular diagnostics (rest & exercise)

In the Premium Check, your cardiovascular system is examined both at rest and under physical stress. This allows a differentiated assessment of your current heart function, exercise capacity and possible risks.

Pulse, blood pressure and oxygen measurement

These basic examinations provide a quick overview of your cardiovascular condition.

Puls und Blutdruck zeigen, wie Herz und Gefäße unter Ruhebedingungen arbeiten. Auffällige Werte können Hinweise auf Stressbelastung, Erschöpfung oder Kreislaufstörungen geben.

Die Pulsoxymetrie misst die Sauerstoffsättigung im Blut. Sie zeigt, wie gut Ihr Körper mit Sauerstoff versorgt wird – ein wichtiger Faktor bei Müdigkeit oder Schwächegefühlen.

Resting ECG

The resting ECG measures the electrical activity of the heart in a relaxed state. It shows the heart rhythm, conduction pathways and possible circulatory disorders. The examination is painless and only takes a few minutes.

Exercise ECG (ergometry)

During an exercise ECG, the heart is tested under physical exertion. While you pedal on a bicycle ergometer, your heart rate, blood pressure and ECG curve are continuously monitored. This shows how your heart and circulation react to stress.

Your benefit

The combination of resting and exercise tests enables a clear assessment of your physical performance. Exercise-related heart problems, blood pressure, arrhythmia or circulatory disorders can be detected and medically classified at an early stage.

Step 3: Lungs & vessels – performance and blood circulation

The Premium Check specifically examines lung function and vascular health. This makes it possible to assess how well oxygen uptake, physical resilience and blood circulation interact.

Pulmonary function test (spirometry)

The lung function test measures respiratory volume and respiratory flow. It checks how much air you can breathe in and out and how quickly this happens. The examination shows whether the lungs are working freely or whether there are indications of constrictions or restrictions.

ABI measurement (ankle-brachial index)

The ABI measurement compares the blood pressure in the arms and legs. This makes it possible to determine whether the leg arteries are supplied with blood freely or whether there are indications of circulatory disorders. The examination is painless, quick and provides important information on vascular health.

Your benefit

Assessment of lung performance and detection of possible airway constrictions. Important for the holistic assessment of performance, endurance and resilience.

Early detection of arteriosclerosis or vasoconstriction and important assessment of personal cardiovascular risk.

Step 4: Ultrasound diagnostics of the internal organs

In the Premium Check, central internal organs are examined using modern ultrasound technology. Ultrasound diagnostics are gentle, radiation-free and complement laboratory and cardiac diagnostics.

Ultrasound of the abdomen (abdominal sonography)

Ultrasound of the abdomen enables a structured assessment of many central organs and ideally complements laboratory and cardiac diagnostics. Among other things, the following are being investigated:

Leber (z. B. Fettleber, Zysten, Strukturveränderungen)

Gallenblase und Gallenwege (z. B. Gallensteine, Entzündungen)

Nieren (z. B. Stauungen, Steine, Zysten)

Milz (Größe, Struktur)

Bauchspeicheldrüse (soweit einsehbar)

Aorta (z. B. Erweiterungen / Aneurysma-Screening)

Harnblase (je nach Füllung)

Prostata

Note:
For the ultrasound examination of the abdomen, it is advisable to fast 2-3 hours before the appointment (no food, water is permitted).

Ultrasound of the thyroid gland

An ultrasound of the thyroid gland visualizes its size, structure and possible changes. The examination is painless and shows whether the organ is inflamed, enlarged or has nodular changes. As thyroid disorders – especially in southern Germany – are often the cause of tiredness, listlessness or weight fluctuations, the ultrasound provides important additional information to the laboratory values (e.g. TSH).

Your benefit

Ultrasound diagnostics enables a structured, radiation-free assessment of central internal organs and is a useful addition to laboratory and cardiac diagnostics. Organ changes, functional abnormalities or stress can be detected at an early stage and classified medically.

Step 5: Physical & medical examination

A brief basic clinical examination is carried out as part of the physical examination. This includes listening to the heart and lungs, checking the pulse and blood pressure, visual findings and other indicative examinations – depending on the doctor’s assessment.

Your benefit

The physical examination supplements the technical and instrumental examinations with the overall medical impression. Findings from laboratory, ultrasound and functional diagnostics are assessed in a direct clinical context. This makes it easier to classify abnormalities and make medically sound decisions.

Step 6: Final medical consultation & written report

All findings are discussed in detail, clearly and in a medical context during the personal medical consultation. Thanks to the practice’s own laboratory, all laboratory values are already available in full during the appointment.

You will receive a clear medical assessment of your current state of health based on the entire diagnostic process – including laboratory analyses, cardiovascular, pulmonary and ultrasound examinations.

We discuss together which results are normal and where there are indications of stress, risks or findings that require treatment. This results in specific recommendations for further action – from prevention and lifestyle to further diagnostics or treatment.

Optionally, the consultation can be supplemented by an individual micronutrient consultation.

Your benefit

You receive an understandable, overall medical assessment of all test results – without any unanswered questions.
All laboratory values are available during the consultation – without waiting time and without an additional appointment. You go home with clear, actionable recommendations for your health.

After the appointment, you will also receive a written final report that clearly summarizes the most important results and recommendations.

Note: The check-ups offered are individual health services (IGeL), which are billed in accordance with the scale of fees for doctors (GOÄ). The costs are generally not covered by statutory health insurance companies.

Questions & answers about the Premium Check

In this section you will find answers to frequently asked questions about the Premium Check, the individual examinations and the procedure at the INNERMED Check-up Center.
The FAQs will help you to clarify open points and make an informed decision for your appointment.

How much does a complete health check cost?

A complete health check costs different amounts depending on the scope of the examinations. The InnerMed Premium Check costs €799 and includes comprehensive internal diagnostics with extended laboratory analysis, heart and lung function tests and ultrasound diagnostics – all in one appointment.

The statutory health check-up is a health insurance benefit with a defined basic scope. A complete check-up with extended laboratory values, stress ECG, pulmonary function test, vascular diagnostics (ABI) and ultrasound is usually offered as an individual health service (IGeL) and charged according to GOÄ.

The price includes all examinations, the final medical consultation and a written report of the findings.

Brief comparison (Premium Check detail page):
Statutory check-up = basic check-up with defined laboratory values
INNERMED Premium-Check = comprehensive overall internal diagnostics with extended laboratory, heart/stress test, lung function, vascular diagnostics and ultrasound in one appointment

What is done during a 60+ health check?

From the age of 60, the focus is on cardiovascular risks, vascular changes, metabolic disorders and organ functions. In addition to the statutory basic check-up, extended examinations such as stress ECG, vascular measurement, pulmonary function test and ultrasound diagnostics can be useful.

The INNERMED Premium Check includes an extended blood and urine laboratory, resting and exercise ECG, ABI measurement for vascular assessment, pulmonary function test and ultrasound of the abdominal organs and thyroid. This combination enables a differentiated overall internal assessment.

All results are assessed by a doctor at the same appointment.

Brief comparison:
Statutory check-up = defined basic examinations at regular intervals
INNERMED Premium Check = extended cardiovascular, organ and metabolic diagnostics including stress test and ultrasound

What examinations are carried out during a health check for managers or executives?

People with a high level of professional responsibility often focus on cardiovascular risks, stress levels and metabolic changes. A structured health check therefore includes extended laboratory values, resting and exercise ECG, vascular diagnostics, lung function and ultrasound examinations.

The InnerMed Premium Check includes a complete blood count, blood lipids, HbA1c, inflammation markers, NT-proBNP, hormone values, resting and exercise ECG, ABI measurement, lung function test and ultrasound of the abdominal organs and thyroid. All findings are combined medically, evaluated in context and classified by a doctor at the same appointment.

Brief comparison:
Standard preventive care = individual basic examinations
INNERMED Premium Check = combined cardiac, vascular, stress, lung and ultrasound diagnostics with broad laboratory analysis

Which check-ups are useful for preventing a heart attack?

Early detection of risk factors is crucial for the prevention of a heart attack. Useful examinations include blood pressure measurement, extended lipid profile, blood sugar and inflammation values, resting and exercise ECG and vascular diagnostics such as ABI measurement.

These examinations help to identify individual risk factors in a structured manner. The INNERMED Premium Check combines cardiac, vascular, laboratory and stress diagnostics in one appointment and is used for preventive risk assessment. It does not replace emergency diagnostics for acute complaints.

Brief comparison:
General preventive care = basic examinations without stress test
InnerMed Premium-Check = structured cardiovascular and stress diagnostics with extended laboratory analysis

What does a major or complete check-up at the doctor’s include?

A major or complete check-up includes comprehensive internal diagnostics over and above the statutory basic check-up. This includes a broad laboratory analysis, cardiac and stress diagnostics, lung function tests and ultrasound examinations of central organs.

The InnerMed Premium Check includes a complete blood count, organ and metabolic parameters, heart markers, hormone and risk values, resting and exercise ECG, lung function test, ABI measurement and ultrasound of the abdominal organs and thyroid. All results are classified by a doctor and documented in writing.
