How do I get reimbursed for mileage to and from the doctor’s office and for out-of-pocket medical expenses?

  • You should keep records of each time that you visit a doctor or other medical practitioner (no reimbursement is payable for trips to the Workers’ Compensation Board for hearings or to a pharmacy to pick up a prescription). You should periodically submit directly to the insurance company a list showing the date of the appointment, who you went to see, and the round-trip mileage. You should also submit copies of receipts for drugs or other medical supplies that you have paid for directly. Never submit your only copy to an insurance company. Always keep a copy of anything that you submit to an insurance company for payment. The Workers’ Compensation Board does provide a form to be used for filing a request for reimbursement.(Form C-257)
