    Actually anything over $2000 medical expenses directly offsets your tax payable - so unless you've paid more than $35000 tax this year, I am guessing you'll get it all back!
    wasn't my experience last year unfortunately - it was 20c after the first $1500 (which is 0) so $30,000 expenses = $5700 claim.

    and don't forget it's only 20 cents in the dollar for the out of pocket bit....not the initial charge, so will probably be a bit less than that.

    Yeah we quite regularly have years in the tens of thousands initial outlay...our usual out of pocket per year is over $8000 on medical, thats without IVF or obstetricians bills....IVF years were hugmungous!!
