Find the right diagnostic centre.

Yes. We catalogue 21,000+ centres across India with verified addresses, phone numbers, and service details. Listings are compiled from public registries, partner data, and direct submissions, then re-checked on a rolling basis. We never accept paid placement.

Many centres offer home sample collection. Use the “Home Visit Available” filter on the search page to narrow results to centres that pick up blood and urine samples from your address. Confirm the visit window and any home-collection charge with the centre directly.

A basic CBC costs ₹150–₹500, a thyroid profile ₹300–₹800, a lipid profile ₹400–₹900, and HbA1c ₹400–₹800 in most Indian cities. Bundled “full body” checkups range ₹999–₹3,500 depending on the lab, accreditation, and the number of tests included.

MRI scans typically cost ₹3,500–₹12,000 in India, depending on body part and whether contrast is used. Tier-1 cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore are usually at the higher end; tier-2 cities are noticeably cheaper for the same study.

There is no single “best” — quality depends on the test you need. For pathology, prefer NABL-accredited labs. For imaging, prefer centres with on-site radiologists. Use Locatemycenter to filter by city and read each centre's verified details before deciding.

Many large chains offer cashless billing for approved tests, but most retail diagnostic services in India are paid out of pocket and reimbursed later. Always confirm cashless eligibility with the centre and your insurer before sample collection.

Routine pathology (CBC, lipid, thyroid, HbA1c) is typically same-day to next morning. Specialised pathology can take 2–7 days. X-Ray and ultrasound reports are usually same-day; CT and MRI reports are often same-day or next morning.

NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) accreditation means a laboratory's processes meet ISO 15189 standards. NABL-accredited reports are widely accepted by hospitals and insurers across India and signal stronger quality assurance.

Yes. Prices for the same test vary significantly between centres. Locatemycenter shows price ranges where available so you can compare before you book, and you can call the centre directly for a confirmed quote.

It depends on the test. Fasting is required for fasting glucose, lipid profile, and certain hormone panels — usually 8–12 hours of water-only intake. CBC, thyroid, HbA1c, and most other routine tests do not require fasting. Confirm with the centre when you book.

A full body checkup is a bundled set of pathology and imaging tests typically covering CBC, lipid, liver, kidney, thyroid, diabetes screening, urine routine, and ECG. Inclusions vary by centre and price tier — basic packages start at ₹999, comprehensive ones go up to ₹5,000+.
