Have you tried to make a Cost Plus claim with your Insurance Plan and you are unsure what items are eligible? This post is to try and help you navigate that problem so you are making the most of your Plan Benefits.

First things first, what is Cost Plus? Cost Plus is a proven, tax-effective means of covering Health, Dental or Vision Care expenses not eligible under your regular Insurance plan. Used correctly it can be considered a Private Health Services Plan (PHSP), recognized by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) as a vehicle which allows businesses to deduct health-related expenses eligible under the Income Tax Act. Eligible Cost Plus charges are treated the same as group insurance premiums and can be a deductible business expense.

The list of eligible items must be items approved by the CRA and not the individual Insurance Companies. Lucky for us, the CRA has provided us with a website that lists these eligible items. Click on the photo below to visit the website:
