Mileage Reimbursement Rates

If the injured employee has to travel more than 15 miles (one way) for treatment with an authorized provider, he or she is entitled to mileage reimbursement.

The Tennessee workers’ comp mileage reimbursement rate mirrors the Comprehensive Travel Regulations Policy for state employees. That policy adopted the IRS business standard mileage rate as the reimbursement rate of the State.
This mileage reimbursement rates change over time.
