Medical Aids do not pay for Fertilisation clinics. If one has paid large amounts to a fertilisation clinic can this be included in amounts not paid for by your medical scheme?

Yes, you can claim this as a medical expense which will be subject to the new rules for Medical Tax Credits You can also use our Medical Tax Credits Calculator to determine if you qualify for a higher credit.
