Can you include a private vasectomy cost in medical expenses claim?

I was referred by my GP for a vasectomy and was wondering if the cost is something I can submit as part of my annual medical expenses claim, or not?
 
Hello

I think so., the ones that are not allow are those medical expenses which are cosmetic in nature (generally speaking) ..

Provided you are getting it on the advice of doctor and getting it done by registered doctor/ surgeons.. usual conditions in Ireland or eu etc

Interesting as it’s can be an elective procedure.. would it fall in definition of health care??

Anyway I think I’d claim it.. obviously it’s the costs not covered by medical insurance.. would be interesting to hear other people’s views
 
I did, submitted online. IIRC it is a total figure you submit, and it is not itemised.
