It depends. A tax free distribution does not qualify while a taxable one does qualify as a medical expense.
Publication 502, Medical and Dental Expenses states:
Retired public safety officers. If you are a retired public safety officer, don't include as medical expenses any health or long-term care insurance premiums that you elected to have paid with tax-free distributions from a retirement plan. This applies only to distributions that would otherwise be included in income.
