As long as you can claim your child as a dependent on your tax return, yes, subject to the usual limitations, i.e. you must itemize and you can only deduct those that exceed 7.5% of your AGI.

I think you need to itemize your deductions to claim out of pocket medical expenses.

Anything you pay out of pocket is a medical expense. Since you don't pay the insurance premiums, you can't deduct those. You can only deduct medical expenses if you itemize, and even then can only deduct the part of the expenses that is more than 7.5% of your income, so unless you have huge medical bills, you usually can't deduct them.
