The claimant sought entitlement to mileage for the cost of her medical service providers attending her home. She argued that because she was in a rural community without such services, it was reasonable and necessary for such payments to be made. The insurer argued that it was paying for the travel time of the treatment providers, but that mileage was not payable under the SABS. Adjudicator Punyarthi agreed with the insurer. She held that mileage expenses were only payable in accordance with the SABS and the Guidelines, which did not authorize payment of mileage for service providers.
