Is Medical Acupuncture an eligible medical expense. I do receive a partial reimbursement from my insurance company.

Can I claim the amount I pay for Medical Acupuncture on my income tax return?

It depends on what province you are in as not all provinces recognize Acupuncturists as Authorized medical practitioners. This CRA page shows which ones do.
