Can I include maternity bills (doctor fees, hospitalization and delivery bills) under my itemized deductions?

Yes, the amount paid out your pocket are considered deductible medical expenses. These expenses must not be reimbursed later by the insurance carrier!

All the Doctors, Hospital Stay,Delivery Costs, Drugs and Prescription Costs can be itemized under Medical Expenses. However, they are subject to the 7.5% AGI limitation rules.
