Preventive Care · Praxis Dr. Romanos
Health Check-up.
Clearly Prioritized.
Preventive care with system — not more diagnostics, but better decisions.
Interpretation instead of isolated findings.
What to Expect
The value of a check-up lies not in the number of parameters —
but in their medical interpretation.
Structured Assessment
Targeted selection of examinations — based on risk profile, age, and clinical question.
Medical Prioritization
Not every deviation requires treatment. Focus on relevance and consequence.
Trend Over Snapshot
Comparison with previous values and assessment over time. Single measurements often tell little.
Clear Recommendations
Concrete next steps — understandable, medically justified, without unnecessary action.
The check-up
One check-up, clearly defined.
Examination, basic laboratory panel and the results discussion — approx. CHF 450.
Included
The check-up
Medical history, physical examination, blood pressure and blood draw — followed by a discussion of your results, by phone or at the practice.
- Medical history & lifestyle discussion
- Physical examination, blood pressure
- Blood count
- Blood sugar and HbA1c
- Blood lipids
- Liver and kidney values

Optional additions
Add-ons
Individual investigations that are not useful in every check-up — but may be in yours. Charged at the official laboratory tariff, without surcharge.
- Resting ECG
- Vitamin D
- Lp(a) — measured once in a lifetime

What is done is a medical decision
The scope is not chosen by preference, but based on symptoms and medical history, existing prior findings and clinical relevance. Not every parameter makes sense in every situation. The goal is targeted clarity — not maximum testing.
When the basic panel doesn't see far enough
Some questions a basic panel cannot answer: the full thyroid picture including antibodies, fasting insulin and the HOMA index, ApoB and Lp(a), hs-CRP, trace elements or the omega-3 index. We don't run these routinely — only where there is a clear clinical question, discussed and billed as a separate service.
Typical Situations
When Patients Come to Us.
Structured Preventive Care
Regular, systematic examination — not only when something shows up abnormal.
Family History
Heart disease, diabetes, or cancer in the family — know where you stand early.
Work-Related Stress
High work tempo, poor sleep, irregular eating — the body reacts.
Unclear Complaints
Fatigue, performance decline, concentration problems — despite unremarkable initial workup.
Our Standard
What You Should Not Expect.
No Screening Without Context
Standardized panels without clinical question lead to incidental findings — not clarity.
No Over-Testing
More parameters do not mean more safety. Every analysis is used with purpose and justification.
No Generic Recommendations
Recommendations are based on your findings, your history, and medical evidence — not trends.
Personal & physician-led
No algorithms.
No standard forms.
Every assessment begins with a thorough conversation — not a standard form. We take the time to understand your situation before acting.
Preventive care requires medical experience and clinical judgement — not just lab values. What matters is decided in clinical context: your history, your family background, your daily life.
That is why I conduct every assessment myself — from history through diagnostics to the action plan. One physician, one contact, one continuous thread.
Process
How It Works.
Appointment & Preparation
Book online, come fasting. We'll send you a brief questionnaire in advance.
Examination & Lab
Medical history, physical examination, and blood draw — all in one appointment.
Results Discussion
Personal conversation with interpretation of your results and individual action plan.
Costs
Costs & Insurance.
If you have symptoms
basic insurance
If you have symptoms or a justified suspicion of illness, the investigation is a basic-insurance benefit. Your deductible and co-payment apply.
Prevention without symptoms
self-pay · basic panel included
A check-up without symptoms and without a medical indication is generally not a basic-insurance benefit. You know the price beforehand. You receive detailed invoices you can submit to a supplementary insurer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Good to Know.
Do I need to come fasting?
Yes, ideally 10–12 hours fasting. This is important for reliable blood sugar and lipid values. Water and medications are allowed.
Does insurance cover the check-up?
A check-up without symptoms is generally not a basic-insurance benefit — it is a self-pay service, and you are told the price beforehand. If you have symptoms or a justified suspicion of illness, the investigation runs through basic insurance (KVG). For the self-pay part you receive a detailed invoice you can submit to a supplementary insurer.
How often should I have a check-up?
From age 40, yearly is recommended. Before that, it depends on risk profile and medical history. We discuss the right frequency individually with you.
Can I come without complaints?
Of course. Preventive care means looking ahead before problems arise. That's when a check-up is most valuable — in that case it is a self-pay service rather than an insurance benefit.
Will I receive my results in writing?
You always receive your laboratory values. The check-up includes a discussion of the results — by phone or at the practice — covering the key findings and your next steps. A detailed written interpretation of all values is a separate service; if you would like one, we agree it beforehand.
What is the difference between a check-up and preventive medicine?
In practice they are the same thing: both mean identifying risks before symptoms appear. The only difference is the depth of the assessment — from the basic check-up to targeted additional analyses where there is a clear clinical question. Which level makes sense is a medical decision, not a matter of package names.
Preventive care is not a checklist.
It's a medical decision.
Start with a structured assessment at Zurich HB — on insurance or private.
