Are health premiums deductible, ASEBP, Blue Cross,

While the Medical Expense Tax Credit can significantly reduce your taxes, it is not always obvious which medical expenses are eligible. Payments of premiums for private health service plans may qualify if they meet certain criteria, while others are excluded. It is important to know if any of your payments are eligible towards this credit

Please see link below to see if your personal health premiums qualify.
