Section 144-332-10-7 - VERIFICATION OF MEDICAL COSTS
All costs applied to the deductible must be verified. For each item, with the exception of transportation costs, the applicant must provide a dated bill or receipt showing the name of the provider, date of service, type of service, costs and any insurance payments. If the applicant does not provide an appropriate bill or receipt, the cost cannot be applied.
For transportation, the individual's record must show the reason the cost was incurred, the place visited and the date. A receipt is required if the applicant paid someone else for the transportation. If the applicant's car was used, the actual cost of gas and oil may be calculated or a mileage cost allowed (using current allowance authorized by State Employees Contract). The individual should be given the opportunity to choose whichever option they prefer.
