Claim received under Mediclaim Policy is not taxable. But its not under section Sec 10 (10D).
Basically, Medclaim received is reimbursement of what you expended for the treatment. Since it is reimbursement, it does not partake the character of Income u/s 2(24). Since, it is not income, there is no question of Income Tax.
