If you have taken health insurance for yourself or your parents, you can claim up to Rs. 50k tax deductions.
You can check if your company has provided an HRA (House Rent Allowance) exemption if you are salaried and claim up to 40% of your basic salary.
 
I work as a freelancer, Any tax savings option apart from 80C, NPS, Medical Insurance (upto 25k additional for parent), Medical Expenses (upto 40k), rent and standard deduction ???

If you submit HRA information to finance department, it will update your FORM 16 and if you haven't submitted then also HRA exemption can be claimed in income tax portal while filing ITR-1.

You should switch to the new tax system instead of the old tax system. Because you will not have the financial stress of saving Rs 1.5 lakh and the tax will also be less. And you can invest this Rs 1.5 lakh in some other way and here you will get better returns.

Yes you're absolutely correct but maximum deduction you can claim under 80GG is 5000 per month
