How to choose

Four questions that settle it

Is this for a team or for you?For a team, Ultimate. It can be done near wherever each person lives or at the office, reports in days, and costs half as much per head. For a director buying for themselves, either works.

Is there a Randox Health clinic you can get to?Signature is only done at Randox Health clinics. If the nearest one is a long trip, Ultimate at a local partner clinic or at home is the practical choice.

Do you want the answer this week?Ultimate reports within 4 working days. Signature takes up to 12.

Do you want to leave nothing out?Signature is the widest screen we offer. If you are doing this once a year on the company and want the fullest picture, the extra £400 buys 90 more markers and the body measurements.

The tax treatment is the same

Does the price change the tax position?

No. The exemption in section 320B of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 has no cost limit written into it. It is limited by number: one health-screening assessment and one medical check-up per person per tax year. A £399 screening and a £799 screening are treated the same way, provided the company buys it directly and it is a screening, not tests for an existing illness.

What you cannot do is have both in the same tax year on the company for the same person. Pick one. The rule in full.

The honest version

Where neither is the right choice

You want scans or an ECG

Neither panel includes imaging, an ECG or a fitness test. Those are part of clinic health assessments, which cost more.

You want a smaller, cheaper check

Our Advanced panel is 74 biomarkers for £319. Compare all three.

You have symptoms now

See your GP. A screening is for people who feel well.

You expect every listed Signature marker

A small number of specialist Signature assays are not always available from the laboratory. Our Signature page lists which, and they are not counted in the 230.
