20 CFR 30.404 - Will OWCP pay for transportation to obtain medical treatment?

Section Number: 30.404
Section Name: Will OWCP pay for transportation to obtain medical treatment?

    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 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.
