Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

Thank you. I found my medical expense listed under the 'Tests' paragraph of the medical expenses that I could claim. I confirmed this with a CRA customer service agent too that I can claim the cost as I paid more than 90% of it from my own expenses without a private insurer. I also didn't know have a health card that time.
