Depends on the situation. I get blood tests twice a year and it is

how to work the system.

I had one lipid panel in conjunction with the physical that showed no
problems. After that my doctor pointed me to the local hospital's free
screening they do once a year. Barring any significant changes in my
lifestyle I don't expect any changes so I haven't bothered.

The last time I refilled my lisinopril prescription there was a note
that I needed an exam and lab work so I'll probably be visiting the
vampire. The appointment is for October 31, so that's fitting.
