Under the affordable care act, beginning in 2014, health plans are, in short, guaranteed issue (when you apply during the annual open enrollment period or if you apply under a qualifying special enrollment period). You cannot be denied coverage for any pre-existing conditions or other health-related issues and you do not have to take an exam to secure coverage.
So to answer your question...yes. You can get health insurance without taking a physical. If you're applying for another type of coverage such as life insurance or disability insurance, you would have to take a medical exam.
I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for help and if you have any other questions. Thanks very much.
