[Fredslist] tax question for CPA

[Katalin Goencz]

Clients often ask me if my services considered "medical-related" and
therefore can be deducted from taxes.   So, I would like to give them a
correct answer, instead of my "usual- check with your accountant".

 

What I do?   Send medical claims to insurance companies, write appeal
letters, follow up on submitted claims,  help people decide which and how
much medical insurance they personally need,  advise and navigate Medicare
and all its parts (A,B,C, D, plus supplement), arrange prior authorizations,
research specialist, work with doctors to ensure proper coding, negotiate
medical bill balances, correspond with any and all medical insurance issues
with medical providers, insurance companies, collection agencies, etc.   

I am using medical here as a generic term, but it also includes dental,
vision, medical equipment, pet insurance and other odds and ends. 

 

So, the question is: can any of these services be claimed on the tax return
as a deductible expense?
