Quebec group insurance - employer did not enter my premiums paid on T4 (included only on RL-1 Box J)

I have group insurance with my employer paid 50/50 employee and employer. They included the employer paid premiums on Box J of RL-1, however they did not enter my paid premiums on Box 85 or 235 on the T4. Do i enter the amount i paid in the T4 Box 85 anyway or should i enter it as a medical expense for private insurance?

Thank you!

You still enter the amount you paid in the T4 Box 85.

If employer does not enter box 85, Canada Revenue Agency(CRA) may ask you to provide supporting documents. Employee-paid premiums to a private health services plan are still considered qualifying medical expenses and can be claimed by the employee on their income tax and benefit return.
