Yes, so long as your client is a 2-percent shareholder within the meaning of §1372(a), §162(l) allows the same deduction to be taken but the premiums must either be paid directly or reimbursed by the S-corp and the premiums must be included in the shareholder-employee's wages.

Just noticed it's not @johnefarrar who responded.  @Greta, it's best to leave it to the OP to clarify just to make sure we have the correct set of facts.

This assumes it's Medicare premiums you were referring to.
