Medical care and tuition payments are either direct payments to a health care provider for the medical care of another person; or direct payments of tuition to an educational institution for another person and are not transfers for gift tax purposes.
For instance, parents may pay all the college tuition for their grandchildren free of gift tax. This is limited to tuition, so room and board and other personal expenses are not included.
