Fees paid to doctors , dentists, surgeons, chiropractors, psychiatrists, psychologists and Christian Science practitioners.
Hospital services , certain long-term-care services, nursing services and laboratory fees.
Acupuncture treatments or inpatient treatment at a center for alcohol or drug addiction.
Transportation expenses such as tolls and parking fees, taxis, and bus, train and airplane fares for trips to doctors' offices, health-care facilities and laboratories.
Ambulance fees.
Canes , walkers, orthopedic shoes and other equipment for the disabled.
Over-the-counter medical supplies such as bandages and aspirin.
