Mileage reimbursement
State of Iowa

I was wondering about mileage reimbursement. Can I get it? I live like 45 minutes away from the doctor and OT that I have to go to regularly, not sure of the miles I travel but can I get reimbursed for those miles traveled to get there? LIke this week I was at OT will be 3 different times, and last week was there 4 different times.

What do I need to do to get reimbursed for those miles? Gas is expensive right now.

also, how long does it usually take to get a check for all the meds I have been paying out of pocket?

I am just really confused about this whole deal, and my employer just acts all pissed off that I even made out a claim so I can't really talk to her about it. Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

RE: Mileage reimbursement
Have you been assigned an insurance adjuster? If you do not have a lawyer and you know how to contact your adjuster you can give the round trip mileage to him/her and get paid. My first adjuster use to wait the 30 days to cut me a check because he wanted the bill to come first to prove I went to that appointment.

This new adjuster I have I just email him my mileage or fax it to him and he sends me the check right away. I have a good relationship with him and he trusts me when I put my miles in and that is why he does not wait for the bill before he pays me. As far as medication I have no idea because I use to have an insurance card that I use to use when I got my meds. Then after the hearing I lost all my meds. being paid for through wc due to the IME doctor saying I did not need any.

If I were you I would keep a log like I did when I went to OT and PT and at the end of the week I would send in my mileage because it took so long to get it (30 days).
