Please tell me can you still claim your out of pocket expenses that is not covered by medical aid or hospital plan. Do you have to add them all together and then work out the credit?

You would include these expenses for the year on your tax return. Register for TaxTim and let us assist you in completing the tax return correctly and then submit to SARS. You won't have to calculate the credits, just enter the information that you have. You will have to add up the out-of-pocket medical expenses into one amount though.
