implants and med2 form

lomb

have been looking at the med2 form and noted that implants are now only tax deductable if done in conjunction with periodontal treatment and bone grafting or augmentation.
is this a new thing?does this mean that a dentist certifying an implant done without grafting on the med 2 form is aideing in commiting tax fraud?
would the crown on an implant be covered?doesnt look like it if it has to be cemented to tooth tissue.
i find revenues policy interesting in that it doesnt cover artificial teeth. also commonly titanium or stainless steel posts are used, gold posts never really are

Welcome back lomb long time no hear. Dont know much about the med 2 form but it sounds odd what you have described.....anyone claim back implant tax...if so let us know if you have to have grafting to get your money back?

good to be back:D
arguably , northern irish/eastern european dentists may certify it as theyve nothing to fear from irish revenue whereas i most certainly wouldnt.
why are dentures or chrome cobalts not included? i think people need to write a letter to their TD stating that the revenue policy is a joke (which it is )
if an irish dentist signed that form for a crown supported on an implant then that would carry severe penalties with extortionate interest 5 or 7 years down the line. can u imagine it:eek:

crazy:rolleyes:
