Annual General Check-Ups

Some health changes don’t come with pain or warning signs. A check up helps you understand where you stand today and identify potential risks before they become bigger problems.

 

Simply put, it’s a practical way to gain clarity, establish a health baseline, and make informed decisions. And if you live in or spend extended time in the Riviera Maya, it also allows you to maintain continuity of care with the same medical team.

 

 

What is it for?

  • Identifying “silent” health risks (even if you feel fine)
  • Receiving clear medical guidance based on real results
  • Monitoring existing treatments or family history risks
  • Making decisions based on data, not assumptions

 

 

How does it work?

Here you’ll find our general check ups, designed as comprehensive health evaluations.
Select the check up that fits your needs to view its details: what it is, what it’s for, what’s included, and important recommendations.

 

To proceed, schedule your appointment with us. We’ll provide available dates and any preparation instructions based on the selected check up.


Payment is completed upon arrival before the evaluation begins.

 

Schedule your check up at Costamed and gain clarity about your health.

General Medical Assessment

You don't need to feel sick to get a checkup. Knowing where your health stands is also a form of prevention.

 

Some health conditions can develop for years without causing obvious symptoms. High blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, abnormal blood sugar levels, and certain cardiovascular risk factors often go unnoticed until a medical evaluation identifies them.

 

This package combines essential metabolic and cardiovascular screening tests in a single visit, complemented by a medical consultation to interpret your results and guide you on the next steps.

 

Having clear information about your health allows you to make informed decisions, prevent complications, and stay in control of your well-being.

 

 

Which of These Situations Sounds Like You?

 

This package is designed for any adult, but it is especially relevant if you recognize yourself in any of the following situations:

 

It's Been Months—or Years—Since Your Last Checkup

Life moves fast: work, family, responsibilities. Health often gets pushed to the bottom of the list.

This package is for the moment you decide that "someday" is today.

One visit, essential tests, and a physician who helps you understand the complete picture.

 

 

You Have a Family History That Makes You Think

Diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, or heart disease run in your family.

You know the risk exists, but you've never confirmed whether those factors are beginning to affect you.

Hemoglobin A1c, a lipid profile, and an ECG can provide valuable answers.

 

 

You Live in the Caribbean and Your Regular Doctor Is Far Away

Many international residents in Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Cozumel go months—or even years—without an annual medical evaluation because their healthcare providers are back home.

This package makes that yearly checkup simple, with tests that can be interpreted by healthcare professionals anywhere in the world.

 

 

You Feel Like Something Has Changed, but You Can't Quite Explain It

If you've noticed changes in your weight, energy levels, or overall well-being, this package can help you better understand what may be happening in your body.

Know your metabolic health and make decisions based on reliable information.

 

 

 

What Makes This Package Different?

This package is not designed for a specific gender or age group.

It is a comprehensive metabolic and cardiovascular assessment, ideal as an annual health baseline or for anyone looking for a broad overview without the need for highly specialized testing.

 

 

What It May Help Detect Early

 

Blood Sugar and Metabolic Health

Fasting glucose and Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) help identify prediabetes or ongoing metabolic imbalance.

 

 

Cholesterol and Blood Lipids

A complete lipid profile helps evaluate cardiovascular risk associated with elevated cholesterol and triglycerides.

 

 

Heart Health

A resting electrocardiogram (ECG) can identify electrical abnormalities that may not cause noticeable symptoms.

 

 

Kidney Health

Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and urinalysis help assess kidney function—especially important in warm climates such as Quintana Roo.

 

 

Uric Acid

Detects elevated uric acid levels associated with gout, kidney complications, and metabolic syndrome.

 

 

Overall Health and Oral Health

A complete blood count and dental consultation help provide a broader picture of your health in a single visit.

 

 

What's Included

 

Laboratory Tests

• Basic Health Panel: Complete Blood Count (CBC), Fasting Glucose, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Creatinine, and Urinalysis
• Uric Acid
• Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
• Lipid Profile

 

Diagnostic Testing

• Resting Electrocardiogram (ECG)

 

Consultations

3 Common Conditions This Checkup Can Help Detect or Monitor

 

Prediabetes and Metabolic Imbalance

This occurs when the body begins to process blood sugar less effectively, often without obvious symptoms, pain, or disruptions to daily life.

 

In Quintana Roo, dietary habits, chronic stress, and sedentary lifestyles make this condition more common than many people realize—and often at younger ages than expected.

 

Why it often goes unnoticed:
Early on, it doesn't hurt or interfere with daily activities. If symptoms do appear, they are often attributed to something else.

 

How this package helps:
Fasting glucose provides a snapshot of your current blood sugar levels, while HbA1c shows whether blood sugar has been elevated consistently over the past several months. Together, they tell a much more complete story.

 

 

 

Dyslipidemia: High Cholesterol and Triglycerides

Elevated blood lipids don't hurt, don't cause symptoms, and rarely affect day-to-day life—but they can steadily increase cardiovascular risk over time.

 

This is one of the most common conditions among adults between 30 and 55 years old, and one of the most underdiagnosed precisely because it develops silently.

 

Why it often goes unnoticed:
Without symptoms, most people don't look for it until another test—or a cardiovascular event—reveals it.

 

How this package helps:
The lipid profile provides direct measurements of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides—the foundation of any preventive cardiovascular strategy.

 

 

High Blood Pressure and Early Cardiovascular Risk

High blood pressure can develop at any stage of adulthood and progress without causing noticeable symptoms.

 

Chronic stress, excess dietary sodium, abdominal weight gain, and physical inactivity are among the most common contributors—and all are common realities for adults living and working in high-activity tourism destinations such as Quintana Roo.

 

Why it often goes unnoticed:
It can progress silently for years while gradually affecting blood vessels, the heart, and the kidneys.

 

How this package helps:
The Internal Medicine consultation integrates vital signs, medical history, and metabolic findings, while the resting ECG may reveal cardiac changes that cannot be detected without testing.

 


 

Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation

Some aches don’t arrive with sirens. They show up as phrases: “It’s normal.” “I probably slept wrong.” “It’ll go away.” “It’s just stress.”

 

And there you are: stretching like a cat, cracking your neck, switching chairs, pushing through it. Until one day you realize something very human — you’ve been negotiating with your body for weeks (or months).

 

The most frustrating part isn’t the pain. It’s the feeling that your life starts shrinking: you move differently, avoid lifting things, lose motivation to work out, or get tired of hearing “just rest” as the only solution.

 

And that’s when the shift happens: one isolated session might bring relief… but it rarely addresses the root cause.

 

That’s why the 5-session physical therapy package exists: to move from “maybe it’ll go away” to consistent recovery, with a plan that actually feels like progress.

 

 

What This Package Is — and Who It’s For

This is a 5-session physical therapy package offered at a bundled discount. It’s designed for people who need consistency without renegotiating every week whether they’re going or not.

It’s for you if:

  • You have discomfort that comes and goes — and you’re tired of it.
  • You were injured and want to regain function with guidance.
  • You returned to exercise and your body is saying “slow down.”
  • You spend hours sitting, driving, or repeating the same posture.
  • Someone at home has already told you (lovingly or impatiently): “Go to therapy already.”

 

What It May Help You Achieve

  • Gradually reduce pain and tension — without improvising.
  • Regain mobility so you can move with confidence again.
  • Improve strength and stability (to avoid ending up in the same place again).
  • Correct movement and posture habits that are catching up with you.
  • Understand which exercises help you — and which make things worse.
  • Feel real progress through consistency, not luck.

 

What’s Included

5-session physical therapy package with bundled discount.

During your sessions, the clinical team may use different techniques depending on your evaluation and availability by location. Techniques may include:

  • Electrical stimulation therapy
  • Therapeutic ultrasound
  • Magnetotherapy
  • Heat therapy / Cryotherapy
  • Laser therapy
  • Kinesiotherapy (movement therapy)
  • Hypopressive exercises
  • Manual therapy (massage therapy)
  • Neuromuscular taping (Kinesio taping)
  • Cupping therapy
  • Dry needling

Important Note: Not all techniques may be available at every location.

Common Situations Where Physical Therapy Often Helps

1) “Real-life” neck and back pain

Long hours sitting, stress, driving, lifting incorrectly. Physical therapy can help reduce tension and improve movement mechanics.

 

2) Sports injuries or overuse

That “I pulled something” or “it flared up again” often needs more than rest. Therapy can guide a gradual return to activity.

 

3) Knee, shoulder, or hip that’s “starting to complain”

Discomfort climbing stairs, lifting, sleeping on your side, or raising your arm. Therapy can help restore mobility and control.

 

4) Post-surgical or post-immobilization recovery

After surgery or casting, the body loses strength and range of motion. Therapy can help safely rebuild function with guidance.

Dental Alignment

There are things people learn to “live with”: smiling with your mouth slightly closed, adjusting your bite without thinking just to chew comfortably, avoiding certain photos, or small discomfort when you close your mouth that you no longer notice because it’s become normal.

 

The thing is, crooked or crowded teeth aren’t just about appearance. Over time, they can lead to harder hygiene, wear, sensitivity, irritated gums, and even jaw tension. It doesn’t always happen—but when it does, it’s usually because it was left “for later.”

 

This package exists for what matters most: getting started. Because in orthodontics, what really changes the game isn’t thinking about it—it’s starting with the right evaluation and a proper first placement.

 

 

What this package is and who it’s for

The Dental Alignment Package is designed to start orthodontic treatment—aligning teeth, improving your bite, and helping prevent future issues with gums, joints, and overall dental health. It includes a cleaning beforehand to ensure a safer placement.

 

 

This is for you if:

  • You have crooked, crowded, or spaced teeth and you’re tired of “adjusting” your smile
  • Your bite doesn’t feel even or chewing on one side feels off
  • You’re concerned about tooth wear or have been told you grind or clench your teeth
  • You want a real aesthetic change (with a health-first approach, not just for looks)
  • Someone close to you has already said it plainly: “You’d look amazing with straight teeth”

 

 

What it can help you achieve (and catch early)

  • Improve alignment so daily hygiene becomes easier and more effective
  • Correct—or begin correcting—your bite (based on your orthodontic diagnosis)
  • Reduce pressure points and uneven wear caused by misaligned teeth
  • Prevent small discomforts from turning into ongoing issues (jaw tension, gum irritation, sensitivity)
  • Start with a clear plan: what you need, how long it may take, and what comes next

 

 

What’s Included

  • Orthodontic consultation (evaluation to begin treatment)
  • Dental cleaning
  • Placement of conventional braces

Check the preparation guide for your checkup here.

 

 

 

3 common issues this package helps correct

 

1) Dental crowding (crooked teeth due to lack of space)

When teeth overlap or rotate, affecting both appearance and hygiene.

  • Why it goes unnoticed: You get used to your smile and brushing “as best as you can”
  • How this package helps: The consultation defines your plan, and braces begin the alignment process

 

 

2) Unbalanced bite (when your bite doesn’t close evenly)

When your teeth don’t fit together properly and certain areas take more pressure.

  • Why it goes unnoticed: You adapt your chewing and normalize it
  • How this package helps: The orthodontist evaluates your bite and begins correction with braces

 

 

3) Difficult hygiene and irritated gums due to positioning

Misaligned teeth create areas where brushing doesn’t reach well.

  • Why it goes unnoticed: You brush “normally,” yet some areas always feel inflamed or unclean
  • How this package helps: The cleaning provides a healthier starting point, and alignment improves hygiene over time

Hearing Assessment

  • Hospitals where it applies: Playa del Carmen
  • Validity: Until December 31, 2025
  • Applies to General Public.
  • Includes:
    • Audiometry Test
    • ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) Consultation
  • Price: $1,430 MXN

 

This package helps evaluate your hearing and detect early signs of hearing loss—often unnoticed until they interfere with daily life. It includes an audiometry test to measure how well you hear different sounds and tones, ideal if you often raise the volume, struggle to follow conversations, or work in noisy environments. It also includes an ENT consultation to review your ear health, explain the results, and recommend treatment if needed.
