No, the fact that you reimbursed her has nothing to do with taxes. If insurance had reimbursed her, then it would be taxable income. Reimbursement from a private party isn't. And it's not deductible to you.

If you gave money to your ex-spouse and it is not alimony, it is not income to your ex-spouse. If your ex-spouse paid deductible medical expenses then the ex-spouse gets to deduct them even if you reimburse the ex-spouse.

Do nothing. Since you did not pay it directly to a medical provider you cannot deduct it yourself. As you cannot deduct it these expenses are not taxed to your ex.
