First, generally there is no income tax benefit on showing medical bills for the hospitalization charges.

Second, as financial year have ended and their last date of income tax return filing is over, eligibility for getting refunds is gone now.

If income is more than non-taxable range (before any deduction like 80C etc) then its mandatory to file income tax return.

If your father has income only from salary/pension, ITR1 form would be needed for income tax return filing.
