Do you get to deduct meals under medical travel expenses

No, you can't include the cost of meals (that aren't part of inpatient care) in medical expenses  For example, you can't deduct meals you pay for while traveling to a hospital or other medical facility.


Meals and lodging provided by a hospital during medical treatment may be deductible.
