It's exempt if treatment is taken in approved hospitals.
Check whether TDS is deducted or not.
In case TDS is not deducted it's exempt income no need to show it in ITR.

By mistake I had applied for the medical reimbursement under the general claim and not for the specific ailment. Tax has been deducted from my salary for this reimbursement. What can be done to get refund?
