Generally, health premiums are deducted before-tax. This means that when you get your W-2 at the end of the year, the amount taken out for health premiums will already be deducted from the total wages shown in Box 1. You put the total wages down on your tax return. This means that the health premiums are automatically deducted from your taxable wages with no special action required on your part.
You cannot claim a second deduction since the premiums have already been deducted from the amount of your taxable wages shown in Box 1 of Form W-2.
If you participate in some sort of health plan where deductions are made after-tax, that is the premiums have not already been deducted from the total shown in Box 1 of your W-2, then in that case you can claim a deduction of part of your health care deduction on Schedule A.

Can your employer cancel your health insurance when you are on short term or long term disability because you did not make a payment on your insurance like is normally done through your paycheck?
Your employer's obligation to pay premiums normally stops when your paycheck does, that is, when your medical and personal leave is exhausted, and there is nothing left to deduct the premiums with. When that happens, the insurance company, not your employer, cancels your health insurance for lack of premiums. There are many ways to avoid this tragedy, including donation of leave by co-workers, if permitted, to keep the paychecks coming, or employer paying premiums for you until you are able to return to work. Good luck. JJ
