Tax Implications
In the year you finance your LAP-BAND System procedure, you may be eligible to receive thousands of dollars back in potential tax savings - think of this as a discount on your procedure! IRS Publication 502 states you can deduct only your medical and dental expenses when they total more than 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income (see p. 2 of publication 502). Adjusted gross income is your total income less a few very specific deductions. Medical expenses may include fees paid to doctors, payments for hospital services, prescription drug costs, physician co-pays and the cost of participating in a weight-loss program for a specific disease, including obesity.
Speak with your tax advisor or see IRS publication 502 for details.
