Question

Can I claim medical expenses that were paid in 2023 on my 2022 taxes if the medical bill is from 2022?

For example, I received a bill for a visit in December 2022, but didn't pay the bill until January 2023.

No, it is a deduction in the year paid. The expenses belong to 2023. The exception is paying by credit card. It is considered to be paid as soon as the card is charged, regardless of when the card pays the provider.
