Instructions for Claiming Unreimbursed Medical Expense
Who can claim: Custodial parent for herself or himself (if covered by the order)
and each child on the order. Not applicable when ongoing, predictable expenses
are included within the order as a recurring monthly charge. Applicable order for
these purposes would state the percentage each parent pays toward
unreimbursed medical expense.
What can be claimed: Annual unreimbursed medical expenses in excess of
$250 per person. Medical expenses include insurance co-payments and
deductibles and all expenses incurred for reasonably necessary medical services
and supplies, including but not limited to surgical, dental and optical services,
and orthodontia. Medical expenses do not include cosmetic, chiropractic,
psychiatric or psychological services unless specifically directed in the order of
court.
This court does not recognize as medical expense for the present purpose such
items as vitamins, non-prescription skin products, cough syrup, bandages,
batteries, or other similar over-the-counter purchases.
When to claim: When the expenses for an individual exceed $250 for an
individual for the current year. Claims may be made thereafter as they occur or at
the end of the calendar year.
How to claim: Claims are to be filed directly by the custodial parent to the noncustodial parent. Do not send claim form or receipts to Domestic Relations.
The claimant must use the attached form (or one similar) to list all items
purchased, including those which establish that the $250 deductible threshold
has been met. Copies of receipts to back up the items claimed should be
attached. Be careful not to include two receipts for the same expense, for
example, the register tape for a prescription and the MAC receipt for the same
item. Also do not submit hospital statements which merely reflect the total cost,
the amount accepted from the insurance carrier for the service, but no actual cost
to the custodial parent. Claimant should keep a copy of the claim form and the
original receipts. Non-custodial parent should remit directly to the custodial
parent his court ordered share of the unreimbursed medical expenses (beyond
the $250 deductible) in a timely manner, but not later than thirty days after
receipt. Non-custodial parent should keep proof of payment. Do not remit to
SCDU or Domestic Relations.
When to involve Domestic Relations: When the custodial parent has followed
the above procedure, but the non-custodial parent fails to remit payment. The
custodial parent may file contempt of court against the non-custodial parent for
failure to pay his or her share of unreimbursed medical expense as required
under the terms of the court order. The burden is with the parties to present clear
documentation to substantiate a claim of contempt or a defense thereto.
Domestic Relations is not responsible for sorting through bills and
receipts, nor for tallying expenses.
