Yes, you can include these expenses as health insurance premiums as long as they were not paid pre-tax from your paycheck.
Having said that, your entire medical expenses amount is only allowed to the extent it exceeds 10% of your adjusted gross income (or 7.5% if you are 65 or older). In addition, your total itemized deductions must exceed the standard deduction to benefit from this.
Other itemized deductions include
items such as medical expenses (reduced by a certain threshold), real estate
taxes, state and local income taxes paid, mortgage interest, charitable
contributions, casualty losses and other miscellaneous expenses.
