Additional Medical Expenses
Many additional medical expenses are also deductible, including:
- Dental treatments
- Prescription medications
- Alternative medicine treatments
- Medical devices and equipment
How to Claim Deductions
To claim health insurance deductions, you need to provide proof of payments and ensure all expenses meet the deductibility criteria.
