Is this a CSF/CSA? If so, any number in Box 5 is ALWAYS health insurance premiums and is entered automatically by TurboTax on Schedule A as a medical deduction.
All retirement accounts, even pensions and annuities, must meet the RMD requirements.
However, the way the pension plans meet the RMD requirements is by creating an annuity paid periodically (in your case monthly). Therefore, you may simply select "yes" to the RMD question (Was this withdrawal RMD and all of this was RMD). You will also be asked if the amount reported is paid periodically in equal amounts. By selecting "yes" the RMD requirements are met and you may continue with the tax preparation.
Please be sure, though that 1099-R CSA is entered in the correct section, and not as a regular pension.
