No, your cannot claim your wife's health insurance premiums paid if you are filing separately. 

Please, keep in mind if you want to itemize your deduction and deduct healthcare cost, your wife won't be able to claim standard deduction. In other words, you both have choose to claim the same deduction, either standard or itemized.
