In Lieuof annual transport allowance of Rs 19,200 and Rs 15,000 medical reimbursement there is standard deduction f 40,000 for Salaried employee , non Salary Employed cant claim this.
if you paid for Mediclaim plan than claim deduction in 80D.

No, you cannot claim such Amount.
Preventive health Check up-upto 5000 you can Claim in 80D but no medicine bill payment allowed.
