Deductions & credits
You can only deduct medical expenses that you paid out of pocket. As a similar example, if your medical expenses are covered by insurance, they are not deductible.
Per IRS Publication 502:
You must reduce your total medical expenses for the year by all reimbursements for medical expenses that you receive from insurance or other sources during the year.
