No, she can't claim 80 D tax exemption in this case. She should have been the proposer & premium payor of your policy in order to be eligible for 80 D benefit.

But sir section 80d does not mention that the person who pays the amount should be the proposer it says 'the whole of the amount paid to effect or to keep in force an insurance on the health of the assessee or his family'. So logically the person who paid the money should be allowed the deduction since the concept of proposer is not there in act.
