Quick Reference

When It Qualifies
- •The expense must be for medical care, meaning it is for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or for the purpose of affecting any structure or function of the body.
When It Doesn't
- •Expenses for general health or cosmetic purposes are not eligible.
