80d -medical insurance vs expense

Can i claim medical expenses under 80D? I am getting a medical allowance of 15K in my salary. Hospital expenses for my wife's delivery and my father's treatment are 55K and 30K respectively(FY2015-16). I paid the total amounts. Is there a way to claim a tax deduction regarding the above expenses?. Thanks in advance.

reimbusment of rs 15000 medical expenditure can be claimed along with medical insurance premium under 80d.

For medical insurance premium (not paid in cash) u can take deduction of maximum of rs.15,000/- .

For medical treatment of family i am not sure which section applies....just search for specific diseases in section 80DDB...if the section specifies the disease u can take deduction...

wait for an expert to answer though
