To clarify, I meant that unless there was a known medical condition, frequent check-ups shouldn't be mandatory.

Being a type 2 diabetic, I go for blood work every six months although it is not mandatory in my case as I have a very mild case. In fact, I make an appointment even though my doctor doesn't follow-up as he should.
