Periodic loosely means "from time to time". In wellness, a health check may be every 6 to 12 months. A health check-up is a routine exam done mostly in wellness, but these checks can identify problems early. So a "periodic health check up" means you see a doctor every 6 months to a year even when you feel well.
The schedule of wellness exams for infants, toddlers, and children is more frequent.
