[QUOTE="Knowlopedia, post: 5022, member: 41"] To know if you are eligible for medical deduction , it is important to know what is considered medically necessary. What qualifies as medically necessary can be anything that would enable you to maintain a reasonable and workable lifestyle. In the course of your life, medical deductions will most likely be claimed for the following : [LIST] [*]Annual physicals [*]Dental care [*]Mammograms and other preventative screenings [*]Prescription drugs * Visits to the doctor * Prescription eyeglasses * Vision treatment [*]Expense replacement therapy such as artificial limbs or pacemakers (if prescribed) [*]Complementary alternative medicine such as acupuncture or reflexology . The cost of which is not taxable by the federal government . [/LIST] Medical deductions can also be claimed for other expenses , such as : [LIST] [*]Treatment and therapy of mental illness (pending legislation) [*]Lactation services during breast feeding. A medical deduction is allowable under qualified medical expenses (QME) , which would qualify as a medical expense in the case where any expense would have been deductible on its own . This is not an absolute : only those expenses that are specifically allowed as QME qualify for deductions , while general medical expenses are limited to $2,500 each year . [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
