The employee is entitled to reimbursement of reasonable and
necessary expenses, including transportation needed to obtain authorized
medical services, appliances or supplies. To determine what is a
reasonable distance to travel, OWCP will consider the availability of
services, the employee's condition, and the means of transportation.
Generally, 25 miles from the place of injury, the work site, or the
employee's home, is considered a reasonable distance to travel. The
standard form designated for Federal employees to claim travel expenses
should be used to seek reimbursement under this section.
