You can deduct medical costs you pay directly to medical service providers for another person according to the following rules:
Note that these rules are slightly less stringent than those for the dependency exemption. For example, it's possible that you can deduct medical expenses you paid for a parent in 2015, even though you can't claim the parent as a dependent because his or her gross income exceeded $4,000.
For a complete list of qualified medical expenses, see IRS Publication 502: Medical and Dental Expenses.
