Yeah, it is good, but not required.
Med School does not require a particular major, it only requires certain courses. You can major in anything, it doesn't have to be a science.
Most med schools would prefer to have applicants who have majored in something other than Chem or Bio, because it shows more of a dedication to something other than medicine...so you don't become one of those burned out Docs that keep practicing even after you get burned out.
Also, what happens if you decide that Med School isn't for you? Having a degree in something other than a Chem or Bio science will open up more doors for you.
Major in something that you enjoy. Minor in Pre Med (Studies). That way your premed reqirements will be met, you will still get a degree, and you will be more marketable to schools when applying.

Sure, it could be a good fit. But take the major that most interests you. The most important part is that you can show outstanding grades. And, of course, they'll want to see that you have a solid background in some of the sciences...there will be certain classes that are probably required. But the major can be virtually anything, as long as you excel.
