I had gone for an ultrasound before I received my provincial health card and hence I paid it in full. I have the requisition slip from a walk in clinic doctor. Can I use that and claim the amount on the ultrasound invoice?

you should be able to claim it since it was something that a doctor ordered and you went to a medical facility to have it done. Keep the receipt on hand in case you need to show it if you need to show the proof.

You can claim only eligible medical expenses on your tax return if you, or your spouse or common-law partner:

paid for the medical expenses in any 12-month period ending in 2021
did not claim them in 2020. You can find more here Medical expenses you can claim
make sure to keep your receipts in the even the Canada Revenue Agency requires them

This eligible medical expense was found in the Details of medical expenses by the Canada Revenue Agency: "Pre-natal and post-natal treatments paid to a medical practitioner or a public or licensed private hospital."

In Addition, below you can find our article 3 Tips For Claiming Your Medical Expenses as a Tax Deduction Here are more related information about :

Thank you. I found my medical expense listed under the 'Tests' paragraph of the medical expenses that I could claim. I confirmed this with a CRA customer service agent too that I can claim the cost as I paid more than 90% of it from my own expenses without a private insurer. I also didn't know have a health card that time.
