Parking fees and toll road fees are also included. Bus fare would also be reimbursed.<\/p><p>You will not be reimbursed, however, unless you request reimbursement. You have probably been provided a form by your employer&#39;s insurance carrier for this purpose. If not, you may obtain one from our office or simply fill out the information on a sheet of lined paper. You must include the date, where you went and the round trip mileage. It&#39;s that simple.<\/p><p>It is recommended that the mileage reimbursement forms be submitted at least once a month to your employer&#39;s insurance carrier for faster processing. Or, you may submit the forms to our office. Once the request has been submitted, the law allows sixty (60) days for payment without the insurance carrier becoming liable for penalties for delay in reimbursement.<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know you know that you are entitled to be reimbursed at the rate of $.31 per mile for reasonable transportation expenses for medical examinations requested by the employer as well as all medical treatment or trips to the pharmacy.
