Reimbursement of any expense is the action to neutralize the expenses already incurred in account of the specific purpose, if you have paid amount towards your treatment and the same is gone as your capital outgo (drawings) then such reimbursement is capital receipt, and non taxable. sec 80D deals with medical insurance, and premiums paid are eligible for deduction from gross taxable income of the year.
if remimbursement is done from mediclaim, then yes both are available, but if the reimbursement is made from employer and payout is settled from mediclaim then its highly illegal to claim double benefit for same expenditure,
