According to the IRS, "Medical expenses are the costs of diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, and for the purpose of affecting any part or function of the body". Any expense that falls in this category can be claimed under medical expenses. The expenses can be any unreimbursed medical expenses such as preventative care, surgeries, dental procedures, prescriptions, and medical visits.
To receive the deduction for medical expenses, the total medical expenses will need to exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. In order to claim, you will need to itemize on a Schedule A instead of claiming the standard deduction.
