Travel Allowance Calculation Guidelines

In 1998 HCFA altered submission guidelines and reimbursement criteria for travel allowance. Laboratories may bill a pro-rated flat fee for total miles traveled when mileage is less than 20; and a pro-rated flat fee or a per mile fee when the total mileage is greater than 20.

Laboratories are required to calculate and bill the net amount that will be reimbursed. Reimbursement amounts arereviewed and adjusted when clinical lab fees are updated and in conjunction with Federal travel allowance.
