How Often Should You See Your Doctor?

Experts recommend that seniors between 65 and 70 years old visit their doctor at least once a year.

Preventive care is also critical for catching issues early, before they worsen and cause more severe symptoms. Of course, as you age, recommended doctor visits may increase.

Seniors in their 70s should visit their doctor at least twice a year, while seniors in their 80s and above should visit the doctor at least three times per year.

Generally, there is no copay for routine doctor visits with Medicare.
