The mileage rate for medical and medical-legal travel expenses decreased one-half cent to 56 cents per mile effective January 1, 2014. This rate must be paid for travel on or after January 1, 2014 regardless of the date of injury.

Labor Code section 4600, in conjunction with Government Code section 19820 and the Department of Personnel Administration regulations, establishes the rate payable for mileage reimbursement for medical and medical-legal expenses and ties it to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). IRS Bulletin Number IR-2013-95 dated December 6, 2013 announced the rate decrease. The updated mileage reimbursement form is posted on the DWC website.
