My employer did not add my health insurance payments to box 85 of my T4. Should I add it to box 85 when filing or add it to my total medical expenses claimed

No, do not add the health insurance payments to the box 85 on the T4 as it will not match the T4 in your file at the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). You can add it under medical receipts in your return as medical insurance premiums or other. Keep your pay slips indicating these payments for proof should the CRA require it in the future.
