Executive Physical: Exam-Day Format and How Renew Packages It

Direct answer: An executive physical is a concentrated preventive exam, usually packed into one long clinic day or a short itinerary. Cleveland Clinic describes a standard executive physical of about six to eight hours. Plan on a full day. Mayo Clinic describes a personalized 1-to-3-day itinerary of preventive exams, tests, and consults. Those visits can be thorough. After the day, follow-up usually sends you back to local care or a later return visit. Renew packages that same thorough-workup goal as year-round membership. Start with Performance at $999/mo. Executive at $5,000/mo is the white-glove add-on. Both start with CIMT and a 33-driver workup, then keep measuring and treating. Renew sells measured arterial reversal and year-round follow-through. This page compares format and cadence. It does not publish head-to-head outcome claims versus Mayo or Cleveland.

What a classic executive physical is

When people search executive physical, they usually mean a hospital or longevity clinic that compresses a large preventive workup into one visit. The person booking is often a busy executive who wants one coordinated day instead of months of scattered appointments.

Public program pages describe that format in hours and days. There isn't a single national protocol:

Cleveland Clinic publishes a standard executive physical of about six to eight hours. Extra services can extend the stay.
Mayo Clinic publishes a customized 1-to-3-day itinerary. Visit length varies with age, sex, health needs, and optional services.
Mayo's own FAQ flyer states the program is not an around-the-clock, year-round concierge membership and does not provide all-hours provider access. The relationship is built around an annual visit.

A classic executive physical can include a long history and physical, same-day testing, and a results conversation before you leave. Cleveland Clinic's exam page lists items that may be part of its tailored evaluation: history and physical, laboratory testing, cardiac, visual, auditory, and pulmonary evaluations, vaccinations as needed, bone densitometry, and a fitness and stress review. That list is Cleveland's published "may include" language. It is not a universal menu, and it is not Renew's test list.

Optional add-ons at large centers can include extra imaging or specialty consults. Those add time and cost. Ask the program for a written itinerary before you travel.

How long the exam-day visit takes

Time is what most programs advertise.

Program (public page)	Published visit length
Cleveland Clinic standard executive physical	About six to eight hours. Plan on a full day
Mayo Clinic Executive Health Program	Personalized 1-to-3-day itinerary
Human Longevity Executive Health Assessment	One private assessment day. A different cash-pay product. See the cost page

Cleveland Clinic notes that a colonoscopy, if needed, is a separate day. Optional services such as a full-body scan or extra vascular imaging may require an extended stay. Mayo Clinic's experience page says each visit begins and ends with unhurried physician time, and that patients often return on an annual cadence.

None of those pages publish a head-to-head outcomes study against membership models. Use them as schedule descriptions.

How Renew packages an executive physical

Renew answers the same search with year-round membership. The program page is executive health.

Primary path: Performance, $999/mo. Arterial reversal plus body composition, brain health, and metabolic optimization. A care team measures, tracks, and manages the plan. What's included lives on Pricing.

Secondary path: Executive, $5,000/mo. Everything on the Performance plan, plus weekly coaching, meal delivery, supplements shipped, custom compounding, and unlimited physician access.

Both memberships start the same way:

CIMT imaging to read carotid wall thickness and plaque.
A 33-driver workup for known drivers of arterial damage.
Year-round follow-through with a dedicated physician and care team. Repeat imaging is how change on the wall is checked.

The method is on How it works. Essentials and Reversal exist on Pricing if you want a lighter start. They are not the primary CTAs on this page.

Renew doesn't sell generic concierge access as the product. The offer is measured arterial reversal plus follow-through after you leave the clinic.

Exam-day programs versus year-round membership

The useful contrast is cadence:

Question	Typical exam-day executive physical	Renew Performance / Executive
When does the work happen?	One long day or a 1-to-3-day itinerary	Membership cadence all year
What is the imaging proof at Renew?	Varies by program. Ask for the written list	CIMT, then repeat imaging
What happens after you leave?	Local care or a later return visit	Protocol stays in-house
How do you buy it?	Quote, employer contract, or a published day-rate elsewhere	$999/mo or $5,000/mo

This table is format only. We don't claim Renew produces better clinical outcomes than Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic. We do not publish that comparison.

If you want to find silent arterial disease before symptoms, the screening framing lives on executive health screening.

Who usually books an executive physical

Mayo Clinic's FAQ says the program is designed for busy executive leaders and that managers review business title, company information, and work status. Cleveland Clinic's exam page is written for people who have delayed personal health and want a coordinated roadmap in one visit.

People usually book for these reasons. None of these are outcome percentages:

One travel day instead of many specialist bookings
Employer-paid executive benefits
A desire for a written summary after a packed itinerary

Those are scheduling and access reasons. They don't tell you whether arteries are changing. If you searched because you want arterial disease you can measure, start with CIMT and the executive health membership path.

Insurance and employer payment (no coverage promise)

Hospital executive-physical pages treat billing as a quote. Cleveland Clinic says many insurance carriers cover only a very small portion of executive health services, and that some portions are billed directly to the patient. Mayo Clinic's billing materials note that an employer or carrier may not cover every service. This page does not promise that any plan, HSA, or employer will pay.

Renew's live Pricing page states the practice operates outside insurance so the physician can spend real time with you, with Medicare-adjusted rates on Essentials and Reversal where offered. Confirm current billing with the team. Don't treat a possible reimbursement as a discount.

Start Performance membership, or add the Executive tier

If you want the executive-physical work packaged as year-round arterial care, start on executive health.

Primary: Start Performance membership at $999/mo
Secondary: Add the Executive tier at $5,000/mo

Frequently asked questions

What is included in an executive physical?

It depends on the program. Cleveland Clinic publishes a tailored list that may include a history and physical, labs, cardiac and sensory evaluations, vaccinations, bone densitometry, and a fitness review. Mayo Clinic publishes a gender- and age-based standard protocol plus physician-added and optional services. Renew doesn't copy those menus. Renew's Performance and Executive memberships start with CIMT and a 33-driver workup, then keep treating on a membership cadence. See executive health.

How long does an executive physical take?

Cleveland Clinic says about six to eight hours for the standard exam. Mayo Clinic says a personalized 1-to-3-day itinerary. Optional imaging can add a day. Renew's offer is monthly membership. There isn't a single exam-day clock.

How is an executive physical different from a regular checkup?

A routine checkup is usually a short periodic visit. An executive physical is a compressed, longer itinerary. For how those two visits differ, see what is an executive physical.

Is an executive physical the same as concierge medicine?

No. Mayo Clinic's FAQ flyer says its Executive Health Program is not an around-the-clock, year-round concierge membership. Concierge practices sell access. Renew sells measured arterial reversal and year-round follow-through on the Performance plan and the Executive tier.

Does insurance cover an executive physical?

Often only a small portion, if any. Cleveland Clinic says many carriers cover very little, and some services are patient-billed. Get a written quote. This page does not guarantee coverage.

How does Renew's executive physical path work?

Renew packages the intent as Performance ($999/mo) or Executive ($5,000/mo): CIMT, a 33-driver workup, and year-round protocol work. See How it works.
