I was just curious if anyone knows for those of us who self pay or for anyone who ends up paying some wouldn't this 10,000.00 be tax deductible or does it not count being done in Mexico. Just wondering.

Have a great weekend everyone,

Sherri, medical expenses are medical expenses, no matter where the money was spent. The money spent on surgery and even the travel to get there is deductible as such, to the extent that any medical expenses would be deductible. (I think that is to the extent that the amount exceeds 7.5% of your income, or something like that.)

I used my healthcare cafeteria benefits to pay for it and I had mine done in Mexico. No problem.
