The example given by you are not covered under preventive health check-up. Even as a clear definition of preventive health check-up is not available, experts define health check-ups that are not curative or diagnostic in nature. “Preventive health check-up here would mean annual check-ups that people get done to assess their health."

No, it will not be considered. Preventive Health checkup comprises of a comprehensive set of tests, which have been specially designed keeping our health needs in mind. it is a early detection of all types of illnesses and risk factors.
