No. If the family member you are referring to is not your dependent. If the person is a dependent on your return then you can use medical mileage allowance for driving to and from a physician or hospital for transporting the patient, but not to visit a patient. This would be filed on your Schedule A of your 1040 Tax Form if you have enough to itemize.

If you are responsible for the medical expenses of the relative, and if you itemize deductions, and if your total deductible medical expenses exceed 10% (7.5% if you or your spouse is 65 or older) of your adjusted gross income, then, yes, you may deduct the cost of transportation to a medical professional or facility.
