No, not if they are reimbursed.  Only the expenses you actually pay for out of pocket.  

Hi DB1990! Thank you for your question.

 

According to the IRS, you can include in medical expenses only those amounts paid during the tax year for which you received no insurance or other reimbursement. Any medical expenses you get reimbursed for, such as by your insurance or employer, can't be deducted.
