As the title says. I am going to replace my brake rotors, as they are worn. Do I need to replace my wheel bearings as well? Is there a simple test to see if they are good to go as they are?

If you have stock four-lug front rotors, they cannot reasonably be changed without changing the wheel bearings. The five-bolt stuff can, but on the four-bolt setup the rotor is a part of the hub.
