When do I get my mileage reimbursement after filing and sending it to the insurance covering workers comp?

March 15, 2010

I live in the state of California, and I was injured at work. All my medical expenses have been covered by Gallagher Bassett services. THough, I received a letter about two weeks ago stating to fill out a mileage reimbursement for my travel expenses from my house to the clinic. I filled it out with the mileage and sent it on Oct. 23, though I have not received any check? Do you know when I will be disbursed for the mileage?

They need some time to process the claim. I usually got mine in 2-3 weeks, but that may depend on the company. I wouldn’t be concerned unless it had been more than thirty days since I think they received it (not when I mailed it), but you certainly can call and ask when you can expect a check.

Good luck!

You adjuster will review the miles from point A to point B. They will double check the miles through the internet, like yahoo maps to find out if you put the right amount of miles on it. If your short by 1 mile they should add that 1 mile to be compliant with the state. If your over 1 mile they should notify you via mail that you won’t be paid for that 1 mile.

Give it a few weeks, normally you should get it within 30-60 days from their receipt of the request, depends on each state. I believe the federal miles is $0.485 per mile after 07/01/2008.
