PHI and Gap Costs

Subject: PHI and Gap Costs Tue 01 Mar 2011, 9:04 am

Hi everyone,

can anyone help me? My son would like to have the sleeve done as I did. He is insured so that isn't a problem. I did read here I'm sure that you can claim all the gap back in your tax return. Is this correct or am I dreaming? If so how and what do you claim it under?

thanks Andrea

Just adding this year the out of pocket has gone up to $2000 but he can add in all family expenses, we have done this with our tax for the past 4 years.

I am $6000 out of pocket for my tummy tuck, then I have to add everything else.

This explains it all pretty well I think.
