80D or 80DDB

Hi

Expenditure incurred on vertebral surgery for a dependent mother is allowed under 80D or 80DDB. The mother is covered by health insurance only for part of the total surgery expense and the remaining is incurred by the assessee on behalf of his mother. Can we claim deduction under Section 80D for the rest of the amount paid by assessee.

Thanks
