Medical Travel Expenses

I had 40 medical appointments in 2022 in Ontario that required over 80km travel (one way). These appointments would also include parking fees and meal expenses. It would appear that I will have to figure out the expense to claim for each individual appointment and submit them independently of one another. Is this true? 

 

For example, an appointment on January 1, 2022 was 200km of travel (at $0.68/km) plus parking ($4.00) plus 1 meal ($17/meal) = $157.00. I would submit that as one medical expense and then move on to the next one and so on.

 

Is there a better, easier way to do this? Can I calculate this for the entire 12 month period and submit only one claim for this? It's unfortunate there is no option to choose 'Medical Travel' rather than just 'Other' when submitting these claims.
