How much does a regular physical examination cost for an employment examination?

The price of routine physical examinations for entry-level workers is mostly in the range of 100-500 yuan, and the basic requirements for most ordinary positions can be obtained for 100-200 yuan.

A while ago, I helped my cousin who came to Guangzhou to find a job to find a community health service center near her home. The items were the usual requirements for internal medicine and surgery, height, weight, blood pressure, blood routine, liver function, and chest X-ray. It only cost 136 yuan. I got the official seal report in the afternoon of the next day. She had no problem joining the e-commerce company.

The price difference can be several times larger. In fact, there are three core influencing factors: the consumption level of the city where you are located, whether you choose a public institution or a private physical examination center, and the number of physical examination items required by the company. If the same basic project is done in the tertiary hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the price may be over 200 yuan. If the company requires additional projects such as hepatitis B, abdominal color ultrasound, or even tuberculosis screening, the quotation will rise to 300-400 yuan. If it involves special positions such as working at heights and contact with dangerous goods, and requires additional ECG, lung function, and occupational disease-related screening, it is normal to touch the 500 yuan line.

Nowadays, everyone has different opinions on what price to choose for the entry physical examination. Some people think that this is a necessary entry process. As long as the company has no special requirements, just choose the cheapest compliant model. The extra money spent is unnecessary expenses.； Some people think that they have to draw blood and do a basic examination anyway, and it is more cost-effective to spend an extra 180 yuan to get a urine routine and abdominal color ultrasound. It is just a good opportunity to do a basic health screening for themselves, saving the time to go to the hospital.

Speaking of which, I have to mention a pitfall that many newcomers have stepped on. Don't just choose at the low price. Before doing it, be sure to ask HR whether there is a designated physical examination institution, or whether a report issued by a top-level hospital is required. I used to have a friend who shared a room with me. He just graduated and had a physical examination for RMB 89 at a small clinic at the entrance of the community. It turned out that the company did not recognize the report of such a small clinic and spent more than 200 yuan to go to a public institution to have it redone. After going back and forth for several days without saying anything, he spent more money and almost delayed his employment.

Oh, by the way, there are still many people who confuse the general employment physical examination with the health certificate. If you are engaged in positions such as food, catering, or public service, the employer actually requires a health certificate, which is issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or a designated agency. It usually only costs a few dozen yuan to a hundred yuan. It is not the same thing as the ordinary employment physical examination. Don’t go to the wrong place in vain. Overall, if there are no special project requirements, the budget of 200 yuan for a general entry physical examination is basically enough. If there are additional requirements, it is still enough to increase the budget, so there is no need to waste money.
