When you call in your reservation, you should provide the vendor with the name and mailing address of the person to whom the reimbursement is to be made payable. Once the trip is verified, you will be issued a Reference Number. This Reference Number becomes your Mileage Reimbursement Trip/Job number. You will only be reimbursed for trips on your Mileage Reimbursement Trip Log that includes this number.

Each log must be filled out correctly and completely before you will be reimbursed. Fields include the trip date, medical provider name and phone number, physician/clinician signature, and total number of miles driven associated with that particular visit. Each date of service must have a physician or clinician signature in order for the reimbursement to be approved and must be confirmed with the physician’s office before payment will be made.
