Hospital Room Upgrade Cost Deductible as Med Exp?

Post by thegov »

Hi. I've seen highly contradictory answers to this.
Had semi-private room in hospital ($240/day) in Ont. Private insurance covered part ($200/day).
Is the remaining portion $40/day billed from the hospital a valid medical expense.
Any informed opinions? Thx
