To apply for a visa to Latvia, it is necessary to submit to the embassy a health insurance policy, which, as stated on the embassy's website, must include 15 additional days. The trip is planned for just 5 days, so is it necessary to buy a policy for 20 days? Will they refuse to accept documents if they submit a policy for 5 days? Thank you.

In your question, you already answered it yourself. Since the health insurance policy, judging by the rules for obtaining a visa, should include 15 additional days (by the way, this is the minimum insurance period), and you go for five days, then you need to buy a policy for 20 days. Otherwise, you may refuse to accept documents.
The policy will help you avoid any problems associated with sudden health problems, unexpected situations or other troubles. If, God forbid, the insured event occurs, you can apply to the Latvian Claims Bureau with this policy, it is obliged to reimburse all damages.
