How to register for routine physical examination

Nowadays, most public hospitals do not need to call the clinical department for routine physical examinations. You can directly choose the corresponding package of the physical examination center on the official public account or third-party appointment platform to make an appointment. Only some grassroots hospitals that do not have independent physical examination centers need to register the general practice or convenience clinic number to find a doctor to issue a physical examination order.

Last week, I accompanied my mother to the community health service center near my home for the annual basic physical examination. I was still browsing the internal medicine number source on the public account registration page, but there was a "physical examination appointment" entrance on the top bar of the homepage. I clicked on it and selected the 199 yuan basic physical examination package for the elderly. I filled in my ID number and chose the Tuesday morning time slot. On that day, I went directly to the physical examination area on the first floor to report my mobile phone number and the order was directed. There was no registration process, and it was all done in less than two hours.

Of course, not all hospitals have independent physical examination appointment channels. I encountered an exception a while ago when I helped my cousin who had just graduated to inquire about the employment physical examination. The small private clinic near my home did not have a separate physical examination department, so you had to apply for a general practitioner number for 5 yuan. Tell the doctor that you need to do the basic items of the employment physical examination. After the doctor writes the order, you go to pay for the blood test, and you can get the report stamped with the official seal of the hospital on the third day, which is very convenient.

I have to mention here a pitfall that many people often fall into. I had a friend who had his first full-body physical examination. He didn’t know anything and just applied for a 22-dollar internal medicine specialist number. He waited in the waiting area for two hours before his turn came. After the doctor heard his appeal, he directly asked him to make an appointment at the physical examination center on the third floor. He wasted the registration fee and wasted time. It’s funny to say that. If you want to do some specialized items in addition to the routine physical examination, such as painless gastrointestinal endoscopy or thin-section CT for early screening of lung cancer, it happens that the physical examination center does not have the relevant operating qualifications, so you need to register separately for the gastroenterology department and thoracic surgery department. This type of examination is an additional special examination and is not included in the scope of the routine physical examination.
