Biograph is a private preventive-health clinic built around one intensive assessment day, physician interpretation and follow-up across the year. Core is publicly listed at $7,500 for the first year and Black at $15,000. The useful question is not how many tests appear on the brochure, but which findings lead to a named clinician, a referral and a plan you can still use after the first day.

Price, program scope, clinician time and follow-up.
We checked the provider’s current program pages and, where available, independent or regulatory sources listed below. We then separated standard inclusions from optional costs and open questions. Every source carries the date we reviewed it.
The short answer
Is Biograph worth considering?
Public price
Biograph is one of the clearer premium checkup offers because it publishes prices, visit length and a meaningful list of included assessments. It is strongest for a buyer who wants whole-body MRI, cardiometabolic testing and physician review in one private setting. Ask for the renewal price, the exact follow-up calendar and likely outside referral costs before paying.
One private assessment day followed by a year-long membership
Visit time
Biograph says the main clinic visit takes about six hours
Core
20+ assessments, whole-body MRI, blood testing, DEXA, VO₂ max and physician review
Black
30+ assessments and a broader first-year program; confirm the exact difference before booking
Best fit
A premium buyer who wants a concentrated preventive workup with physician interpretation.
Someone comparing Biograph with Fountain Life or Human Longevity rather than a basic annual physical.
A patient who already has a primary-care doctor and can route findings into ordinary care.
Ask before booking
What is the second-year renewal price for Core and Black?
How much physician time is included after the main assessment day?
Who arranges and pays for follow-up after an abnormal MRI or laboratory result?
Which tests are repeated at the year-end check?
Choose something else if
You mainly want routine blood work or a lower-cost annual physical.
Incidental MRI findings would create stress or follow-up costs you have not budgeted for.
You expect a large test count to prove that the program improves lifespan.
What Biograph actually sells
Biograph is closer to a premium executive physical than an ongoing concierge practice. Its public materials center the first year on one six-hour assessment, with imaging, blood work, body composition, cardiovascular testing and a physician review. The company then layers diet and exercise consultations plus a year-end check onto that baseline. That is a more useful description than simply calling it a longevity clinic, because it makes the time commitment and handoff question visible.
Biograph cost and what is included
The current public first-year price is $7,500 for Core and $15,000 for Black. Core lists more than 20 assessments, including whole-body MRI, a broad blood panel, DEXA and VO₂ max. Black lists more than 30. Biograph says it does not bill insurance. Before joining, ask whether specialist referrals, repeat imaging, biopsies, outside laboratory work and any treatment prompted by the assessment sit outside the membership price.
Doctor time and follow-up
The day includes physician interpretation, which is an important advantage over a scan-only purchase. Biograph also describes nutrition and exercise consultations and a year-end check. The public pages do not turn that into a complete appointment calendar, so ask who owns an abnormal result, how quickly you can speak with that person and whether follow-up appointments are included or billed separately.
The screening caveat
Whole-body MRI can find abnormalities that matter, but it can also find incidental changes that lead to more imaging, specialist visits or procedures. A normal scan is not an all-clear for every cancer or cardiovascular problem. The value therefore depends as much on careful interpretation and follow-up as on the scanner itself.
Biograph vs Fountain Life and Human Longevity
Biograph currently has the cleanest public price of the three. Fountain Life has a broader membership and imaging footprint, while Human Longevity has a long-running executive-health model and deeper published detail around its Health Nucleus program. Compare the exact imaging protocol, physician time, renewal price and responsibility for outside referrals, not the headline number of tests.
