Yes, that would count as a medical expense as long as it is not taken out pre-tax. Medical expenses are deducted on a Schedule A. You can deduct expenses that exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You must itemize your deductions in order to deduct your medical expenses instead of taking the Standard Deduction.

The 2024 Standard Deductions are listed below.

Single $14,600

Married Filing Jointly $29,200

Head of Household $21,900

Married Filing Separately $14,600
