Can Health Insurance Claim Reimbursement be Tax Exempted?

I have received ₹6Lac as claim reimbursement from Health Insurance company for treatment of my father. I am the policy holder and I pay annual premium of ₹57K. While I do avail tax deductions u/s 80D for the said premium, but I concerned about how can I get the reimbursed amount exempted. I have read somewhere that it can be availed u/s 10(10D) but since I don't see that option in ITR Form-1, I am confused. 

By profession, I am a self-employed teacher and my income is <5L and I transact mostly in cash. Please help me with your kind advise on my abovementioned concern.

The policyholder received ₹6 Lac as reimbursement and currently claims deductions under Section 80D for premiums. They are seeking clarification on tax exemption for the reimbursed amount, specifically mentioning Section 10(10D) and confusion with ITR Form-1. Advice suggests checking policy terms and filing ITR-2, confirming that such reimbursements are indeed tax-exempt.

Read your policy terms, the tax exemption clause would have been clarified there.
