My medical costs were paid by the Christian Health Care Ministries Program. Can I deduct these costs?

Christian Health Care Ministries Program is a faith-based cost-sharing program for medical expenses. Payments from the program are treated like insurance reimbursements, so because your medical expenses have been covered, you have no out-of-pocket costs to deduct.
