The Cost of Surgery Can Be Tax Deductible!!
The IRS does allow the deduction of weight loss programs, including surgery when medically necessary. Follow this link for more information: http://www.irs.gov/publications/p502/ar02.html (click on weight loss programs). Note that the cost of surgery must exceed 7.5% of your adjusted income. Other costs designated by the IRS, including weight loss surgery prep programs, health insurance premiums, postoperative visits, smoking cessation programs and other delineated costs, may help you meet this requirement. Please consult with your accountant for further details.
Prices vary according to surgery performed. Please request an appointment to find out your exact pricing.
