I know you're not in the military, but this question has a lot in common with the military's medical perspective. I don't know if your company's health insurance requires a pre-retirement physical but there might be corporate liability concern that they're able to prove you were in good health when you wrenched yourself free of their tender ministrations. So they're not necessarily interested in answering your questions-- only in making sure that you pass a pulse/respiratory check.
Meanwhile you just want to know if any of the problems you experienced during your career are "their fault" or will get worse in retirement.
I put up a retirement-countdown brainstorming post a while back:
http://www.early-retirement.org/forums/f29/how-do-did-you-prepare-for-er-20952.html#post387098
with this specific medical advice:
Max out all the company's medical/dental benefits. It's best to start on this step a year out. That includes physicals, bloodwork, cleanings, and even prescriptions. Have every medical issue examined & resolved (or at least documented) since it may affect future insurability (and military disability). I even knew veterans who decided to have their last pregnancy on the military dollar. The rounds of medical bureaucracy-- consultations, referrals, physical therapy, and other treatments-- could take months.
What can the company do for your spouse/kids before you're outta there? Make sure you take care of their medical/dental/personal needs-- including dermatology, orthodontia, school sports physicals, scholarship applications, company internships, or other programs.
Later I added to it here:

I guess if there's any exam or testing that needed to be done with a 2011 date then this would be the time to get it done. And if you're planning to relocate or change health plans then it'd be good to have a large stash of any maintenance medications before the cutoff date.
I had a shipmate who avoided dentists like the plague, but when it came to getting their signature on his retirement checklist they finally made him confront his delinquency. The downside is that he went through eight root canals over the next couple months.
I don't know how to handle the eligibility for retirement health insurance. As a couple other posters have mentioned, you'd hate for this "routine physical" to turn up some innocuous (or mistaken) test parameter that would later be used as an excuse to deny coverage for a hypothetical pre-existing condition. I wonder if there's any way to keep the physical "private" and out of the medical computer network. If there's no other checklist for a physical then maybe you'd want to at least make sure you have an exam typical of what you'd get for a health-insurance application. That way you'd get a free look at anything that might be an issue when you really apply for the insurance.
You may not need to worry about borderline numbers for cholesterol, blood pressure, and weight. I suspect that the best treatment protocol for those conditions is retirement...
