You can claim tax relief of 20% of anything that is not covered by health insurance.

The Med 1 form no longer exists. Claims are made via your online tax return. A form 12 or form 11 whichever is applicable.

How do you claim health expenses?

This page details how you can claim relief on health expenses after the year has ended

Just remember that you can only claim relief on unrecovered medical expenses i.e. your medical expenses for which you cannot receive any further reimbursement.
AFAIK you still cannot obtain relief on routine dental treatment such as fillings, examination or scaling/cleaning. Other dental work like crowns is eligible for relief.

On the dental treatment I've always taken the simple approach that only expense treatments are available for claims for medical expenses. I ask the dentist for a Med 2 and if this is provided then you can claim relief. Most of the terms on the Form Med 2 aren't clear to me (as I'm not a dentist).

On a related matter...my Laya policy refunds me 50% of GP visit fees. Can the remaining 50% be claimed from Revenue albeit only 20% of that amount?

Yes, you can claim tax back on the part of the payment that you didn’t get refunded
