You need an undergraduate degree, if that's what you're asking.
But it doesn't have to be a BS, it could be a BA. Your undergraduate major can be anything, as long as you complete the pre-med requirements.

Pre-Med is a program of study that will lead to the satisfaction of most of the Med School requirements. However, it is NOT a major program. The student will need to get a Bachelor's Degree in some field - doesn't matter what field - and will need to complete certain required courses in order to be considered for Med School admissions.

A medical school can train anyone it wants to admit. In fact, I'm not so sure that a pre-med program is necessarily the best of pre-professional programs to pursue; were I on an admissions committee, I might be more interested in someone with a more liberal education: but with organic chemistry added onto it.
Ohio State University used to have a 'medical arts' program that sent you into professional school after three years of liberal-arts courses. They still might.
Essentially, it all depends on the medical school's customs.

Pre-med programs generally give degrees, primarily because you may have to go to another school for med school.
Generally the degree is in something like Bio Chemsitry or Bio Physics
