Health Expense claim - ultrasound

Hello all,

I am wondering if I can claim Health Expense tax back on an Ultrasound diagnostic procedure, that costed €130/-.

It was recommended by my GP (I have letter) and I attended privately for the ultrasound. Have payment receipt for ultrasound.

Could I claim tax back on it? And is it all online system now?

P.S. I have VHI basic health insurance also (PublicPlus Care Day-to-day) but not sure if I can claim anything?

Thanks everyone and happy Christmas

You can claim medical expenses such as G.P' and Consultants fees, Xrays and scans. You can also claim tax back on prescription medicines. There is a list on the Revenue website. If you check your VHI policy it should say if Ultrasound is covered - sometimes it is in certain centres approved by the VHI.

Thank you.

Is it 20% that I get back?
