In addition to Insurance premium, how much I can take additional medical expenses which are not covered in Insurance.

Additional expenditure up to 50K can be claimed for your parents or Sr Sct spouse, but not for yourself, as you have Mediclaim insurance.

Prevantive health care is all together different, can be claimed max upto 5K in sec. 80D
