The California Division of Workers’ Compensation on Tuesday announced an increase in the mileage rate for medical and medical-legal travel expenses.
This new rate of 58.5 cents per mile, up from the current 50.5 cents per mile set in January. The higher rate must be paid for any travel after July 1, regardless of the date of injury. You can download the new form here.
The mileage rate in 2007 was 48.5 cents per mile. The mileage rate in the last half of 2006 was 44.5 cents per mile.
The division’s mileage rate is set by the Labor Code and tied to the Internal Revenue Service’s published mileage reimbursement rate.
