No,you cannot claim medical expenditure unless there are reasons attributing it exclusively to your business.

Premium paid could be claimed u/s 80D.

Premium on medical insurance can be claimed u/s 80D as said by Jaspal. In addition, you can claim reimbursement of medical expenditure up to Rs.15,000 pa if salaried.

Medical reimbursement is allowed as an exemption on actual production of bills to the employer up to Rs. 15,000. The medical insurance premium incurred is eligible for deduction under section 80D, to the extent of limits permitted.
