Can I take a tax deduction for the cost of weight loss camp?

If a doctor has diagnosed obesity, then you may qualify for a tax deduction for yourself, your spouse, or your dependent.

Will health insurance participate in the cost of weight loss camp?

Aetna considers the following medically necessary treatment of obesity when criteria are met:

  1. Weight reduction medications, and

  2. Clinician supervision of weight reduction programs.”

Interestingly, taking weight reduction medications comes with drawbacks. In fact, Aetna policy bulletin on health insurance coverage for weight loss states the following:

“Weight loss due to weight reduction medication use is generally temporary. In addition, the potential for development of physical dependence and addiction is high. Because of this, their use to aid in weight loss is not regarded as therapeutic, but rather involves a risk/benefit ratio, which makes it medically inappropriate in most cases.”
