Should I deduct 1099-LTC benefit payments as "medical expense reimbursements?"

My mother is chronically ill and in a nursing home.  She receives per diem payments under her Long Term Care policy and I receive a 1099-LTC for these payments.  I entered the total 1099-LTC  amount in the Misc. Income in the designated section.  The nursing home charges are greater than the LTC benefits.  Should I list 1099-LTC payments total in the "medical reimbursements received" section as well?
