Dutch term or phrase: Bent u wel eens gekeurd

Hope the question doesn't seem too obvious, but what does the following phrase mean exactly:
"Bent u wel eens gekeurd?"
It is taken from a medical questionnaire given to patients.

I have: "are you examined sometimes", which sounds a bit strange in English
