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.
