If in 2021, you paid for your health insurance premiums out-of-pocket, then you can claim them as Medical expenses.

For tax year 2021, Medical Expenses are subject to the 7.5% rule and you can only claim the excess over 7.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income.

Please note that Itemized Deductions will only "help" when they exceed your standard deduction.
