A stern statement from the White House at 6 a.m. announced that the president would undergo a routine health check-up, the first since he took office.
He is the oldest president in American history and has publicly announced that he will run for re-election in 2024.
His age, however, prompts speculation that he may drop out.
Joe Biden has promised the greatest transparency in his health, while some supporters of Donald Trump have missed no opportunity to question his physical health and his clarity more or less publicly at the roundabout.
He received a severe health alert in 1988. He was rushed to hospital after a blood vessel rupture and a priest was called to perform his funeral rites.
If Joe Biden did not stand for re-election, Kamala Harris, 57, would be considered a natural candidate for the Democratic camp, although most observers still have a mixed record of how long she has been vice president.
