Last year I joined a medical concierge practice. I paid a monthly fee, which was not covered by insurance. Is this fee tax deductible

It depends. According to the IRS, depending on what the concierge fee is specifically for, some, all, or none of it may actually qualify as a medical expense.

If the monthly fee merely grants you access for future services, with no services actually received, it is not deductible.

If the fee includes any medical services, it may be deductible depending if the included items would meet the IRS definition of a deductible medical expense. (ie. If the fee includes an annual physical, it is deductible because an annual physical is a deductible expense. If the fee allows for free OTC medications, it is not deductible because OTC medications are not deductible.)

Thank you for your answer. How much of the fee would be deductible? Would the deductible amount be limited to the deductible expense, or would the entire fee be deductible?
