Kindly clarify me on the following: I am a senior citizen and does not have any health insurance policy as my employer takes care of it. The employer also pays a lump sum amount annually to take care of medical needs. In case of hospitalisation the company pays to the hospital directly. However, I do spend some amount for consultation and medicines which are not covered by my company. As I do not have a health insurance can I claim this under 80D these consultation charges and medicines which I paid through debit cards. Thanks in advance
