To say how often you do a verb (as a habit), you put the frequency after the verb.
Subj. + [Length of Time] + Verb + Times (+ Obj.)

I still want to know whether "我一天三次需要吃药" should also be accepted.

That's what I put. I don't know if it's incorrect or just one of DL's overlooked correct answers.

in another example (the keeps the doctor way) it was said "一天一个苹果医生不找我" so, why can't I say this one as "一天三次我需要吃药" ?
