Neko Health Cost in 2026: £299 UK Scan, NYC Opening, and Follow-Up Questions

Neko Health currently lists its UK Health Scan at £299 for a one-hour visit.¹ Its US site says the New York clinic is scheduled to open on September 24, 2026, but it did not publish a US price when reviewed on August 28.²

That makes the buying decision simple to frame:

Location	Current official signal	What not to assume
United Kingdom	£299, one-hour scan and clinician consultation1	That every follow-up test or outside specialist is included
New York City	Opening September 24, 2026; waitlist open2	A US price until Neko publishes one

Reviewed August 28, 2026: UK pricing, scan scope, follow-up claims, and the New York opening were rechecked on Neko’s official pages. An unofficial expected US price was removed.

Medical note: Neko is a scan-first preventive service. It does not replace evaluation of symptoms, ongoing primary care, or specialist management of known disease.

What the UK scan currently includes

Neko says the UK visit captures data across skin, heart, blood, metabolic health, and body composition, followed by a clinician consultation.¹ The page lists:

• skin and tissue imaging;
• ECG and arterial analysis;
• biometric testing;
• same-visit cholesterol, metabolic, and immune-related blood results;
• body composition without DEXA or MRI;
• clinician review and an action plan;
• free follow-ups, referral letters, and specialist introductions when advised;
• results that can be shared with a GP through the app.

Those are company-described inclusions, not proof that broad screening improves outcomes for every person. The value depends on whether the measurements are appropriate for your risk and whether findings lead to confirmation and care.

Is Neko a longevity clinic?

It is more precise to call Neko a preventive scan model.

It overlaps with longevity clinics because it packages multiple measurements, a polished data experience, and preventive interpretation. It differs from a full physician-led longevity program that manages medications, coordinates longitudinal care, orders targeted imaging, or follows complex disease over time.

It also differs from full-body MRI. Neko’s UK page describes body composition without DEXA or MRI and emphasizes its own skin, cardiovascular, blood, and biometric devices.¹ Buyers should compare the actual modalities rather than treating all broad health scans as interchangeable.

What the price buys and what it may not buy

The £299 offer includes a broad measurement visit and clinician conversation. Before booking, verify whether the price also covers:

• confirmatory blood tests;
• external imaging;
• specialist appointments outside Neko;
• treatment or medication management;
• repeat scanning;
• records in a format your usual doctor can use;
• urgent follow-up after a significant finding.

Neko says certain follow-ups, referral letters, and specialist introductions are included when its clinician advises them.¹ An introduction is not the same as covering the outside appointment or procedure.

Screening still needs an evidence boundary

Prevention is not simply measuring more things.

The NHS Health Check focuses on cardiovascular risk for eligible adults aged 40 to 74 and connects results to heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, and stroke prevention.³ That is a useful baseline because it starts with established risk factors rather than a technology bundle.

Skin mapping also needs careful language. The USPSTF says evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of clinician visual skin examination for asymptomatic adolescents and adults without signs or symptoms of skin cancer.⁴ This does not mean skin review is useless. It means a broad consumer offer should not be framed as proven population screening for every user.

The real product is the follow-up pathway

Broad scans can produce important, benign, borderline, and uncertain findings.

The American College of Radiology notes that incidental findings can create opportunities for early care, but low-risk findings can also lead to over-testing and over-treatment when management guidance is weak.⁵ Neko is not an MRI provider, but the operational question is the same:

1. Who confirms an abnormal result?
2. Which findings trigger urgent action?
3. Which findings are watched rather than investigated immediately?
4. Who communicates with your GP or specialist?
5. What costs sit outside the original scan?
6. What is repeated next year, and why?

Our follow-up plan guide provides a fuller handoff checklist.

Who may find the model useful?

Neko may fit someone who:

• wants a structured preventive baseline at a public UK price;
• has a GP or primary physician who can integrate results;
• understands that a scan is not a clean bill of health;
• is comfortable with confirmatory testing if something is uncertain;
• values a same-visit clinician discussion.

Start with direct clinical care instead if you have active symptoms, a strong known genetic risk, complex cardiometabolic disease, prior cancer, abnormal imaging, or a medication question that needs management.

Questions to ask before booking

1. What exact tests are included at my location?
2. What is the written price for my city?
3. Which professional interprets each part of the scan?
4. Which findings need confirmatory testing?
5. What follow-up is included at no extra cost?
6. Are outside specialist fees covered?
7. How are urgent findings handled?
8. Can my usual doctor receive the report and underlying data?
9. What happens after a borderline result?
10. What clinical decision should this scan change for me?

Frequently asked questions

How much does Neko Health cost?

The official UK page lists £299 for a one-hour scan. Neko’s US site did not publish a New York price when reviewed on August 28, 2026.

When is Neko opening in New York?

Neko’s US site says the New York clinic is scheduled to open on September 24, 2026. The waitlist is open.

Does a Neko scan replace full-body MRI or DEXA?

No. The modalities and clinical uses differ. Neko says its body-composition measurement does not require DEXA or MRI. Ask which technology produces each result.

Bottom line

Neko’s UK price is unusually transparent. Its New York price is not yet public.

Judge the service by what happens after the scan: confirmation, referral, records transfer, medical ownership, and total downstream cost.
