Ask your doctor: Depends on what you mean with full body well exam. IF you want imaging studies, it will be difficult on a 23 year old unless an indication is found. If you just want a regular checkup then you will get maybe some labs, ekg and physical exam.

See below: Full body "well" exams are not considered necessary or cost effective if you feel well. If you are sick your physician will do a symptom directed exam of the body area involved. **At age 23 your should have your BP checked every 1-2 years, depending on your reading. You should also have a Pap Test every 3 years. You should have an HIV test and a Chlamydia test if you've ever had intercourse.

See your clinician: Your clinical can perform a full body wellness exam, and take the detailed history that goes with it. Hope that helps.
