Can I use appointments with a Naturopath and cancer treatments they provided as a medical expense?

[TurbotaxRobert · Accepted solution]

The costs of consultation with a naturopath would qualify as a medical expense in the provinces of Alberta, BC, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Saskatchewan.

Thank you so just to confirm treatments I pay to their office would not be covered?

[TurbotaxRobert]

If you reside in any of the above provinces, then treatments paid for naturopathic services would be claimable as medical expenses.  If you live in a different province, then payments made for naturopathic services would not qualify for a medical tax credit.

Great thanks so much for your help.

What if the treatments were made in the US can I still claim them?

[TurbotaxRobert]

You can still claim them (convert to CDN$) if you live in the above provinces.
