The premium may be for participation in the Medicare program or for private health insurance, or both. For the purpose of deducting premiums from income, private health insurance is restricted to those policies which insure payment for medical services rendered and medical expenses incurred.&nbsp; It does not include a policy which insures an income supplement while an individual is disabled. The policy must directly assist in the payment of medical expenses. If a person is receiving benefits from an income supplement insurance policy for a disability and the policy is not includable under the criteria in this section, the premium payment made is deductible from income when the payment is necessary to continue benefits.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Source:</b> 2 SDR 74, effective May 13, 1976; 4 SDR 10, effective August 28, 1977; 7 SDR 23, effective September 18, 1980; 7 SDR 66, 7 SDR 89, effective July 1, 1981; 8 SDR 170, effective June 21, 1982; 9 SDR 133, effective April 27, 1983; transferred from §&nbsp;67:16:21:04, effective August 23, 1992; 19 SDR 141, effective March 25, 1993.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>General Authority:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=28-6-1">28-6-1.</A></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Law Implemented:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=28-6-1">28-6-1.</A></p> </div> </body> </html>
