Yes, if your presence was medically necessary and the trip was for medical reasons. The cost is a medical itemized deduction. Only an amount of total medical expenses greater than 7.5 percent of your AGI can be deducted. This is only helpful if your itemized deduction is greater than your standard deduction.
