Healthcare Destination
The Huizenga Executive Health Program at the Attarian-Huizenga Executive Health Suite is designed to help busy professionals (and their spouses) manage their health effectively, while ensuring continued productivity and vitality. Services are provided mindful that a minimum amount of time is important.
The program’s mission is to target, reduce and remove health risks; promote wellness; discover potential health problems; and facilitate prompt, expert treatment of diseases. Participants receive a highly personalized annual medical evaluation by skilled Cleveland Clinic Florida physicians.
Evaluations are tailored to an individual’s age, sex, family history, personal history, and other risk factors. A thorough medical history and physical examination with appropriate screening tests are designed to detect many serious medical conditions, including heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, stroke, and others, at an early stage when they are most easily treated.
Screenings are efficiently scheduled on the same day at one location, so you can obtain a year's worth of preventive healthcare in a single day – without leaving Cleveland Clinic Florida. There is no better place to fast-track your health. After the examination is completed, the patient receives a written report detailing all findings and recommendations for lifestyle changes and/or follow-up care.
Additional examinations by Cleveland Clinic Florida specialists will be arranged.

FAQs
How much does an Executive Health Physical cost?
Costs depend on which screenings tests are needed, as well as which program you choose. Discounts are available to companies based on the number of executives who participate in the program. Cost can vary based on the individual’s choices and needs. Services can be determined by both the patient’s needs and doctor recommendations. To request additional information about the cost of the program, please contact us at 954.659.5380.
Is the Executive Health Program covered by insurance?
Many insurance carriers only cover a very small portion of Executive Health services. There are portions of the Executive Health Program which are not billable to insurance and are directly billed to the patient. Those services, which are billable, may be submitted to the insurance company by Cleveland Clinic. Any portion of the service that is not covered by the insurance carrier becomes responsibility of the patient. Charges for the Executive Health program not submitted to insurance eligible for discounts. For more information, please call us at 954.659.5380.
How does billing work if my company is paying?
The Executive Physical at Cleveland Clinic is an additional service provided to you by your employer. The cost of services that fall outside of the scope of the agreed-upon physical, is the responsibility of the patient. The cost of all diagnostic procedures is the responsibility of the patient. Prior to your appointment please consult your benefits office regarding your company’s approved services. For more information, please call us at 954.659.5380.
How far in advance do I need to schedule an appointment?
