Can I request the insurer to conduct a medical check-up before buying health insurance?

No, you cannot insist that the insurer conducts a medical check-up before purchasing a health insurance policy. Insurers decide on medical tests based on factors like age and the sum insured.
To avoid claim rejections:
Get a medical check-up independently before applying.
Use the results to accurately disclose pre-existing conditions.
Be completely honest about your health history on the application.
This minimizes the risk of claim rejection due to non-disclosure. Note that some health plans offer free medical check-ups after a few claim-free years, but only after policy purchase.
