Hi everyone,

I am not sure if this is the same in Canada as it is in the US, however I am speaking from a Canadian view, and it may be something to look into for yourself.

I had my doctor to write me a prescription for all the vitamins that I take as a RYN patient, with all the times.

I went to my pharmacy and had them BUBBLE PACK, yes like an old lady lol, all of my vitamins and prescriptions.

Now most of these "items" are not covered under BlueCross(my insurance provider) however, I AM able to claim the vitamins as MEDICAL EXPENSES on my income tax return, as they were prescribed!

Cool eh?!?!

lol hopefully this works for you

FYI for 4 weeks, including a 78.89 (non covered prescription drug) and a 8 dollar prescription one, it only cost me 104.87! that's crazy?!!?
