I REQUIRED MEDICAL SERVICES - OUTPATIENT CARE-IN ANOTHER STATE FOR 3 MONTHS. ARE THE HOUSING COSTS CONSIDERED DEDUCTIBLE?

Probably, but the deduction is limited and you must meet the qualifications-- see Lodging.  

 

The amount you include in medical expenses for lodging can't be more than $50 for each night for each person. You can include lodging for a person traveling with the person receiving the medical care. For example, if a parent is traveling with a sick child, up to $100 per night can be included as a medical expense for lodging. Meals aren't included.

 

Don't include the cost of lodging while away from home for medical treatment if that treatment isn't received from a doctor in a licensed hospital or in a medical care facility related to, or the equivalent of, a licensed hospital or if that lodging isn't primarily for or essential to the medical care received.
