Section 616C.156 - Limitations on reimbursements1. Unless otherwise directed or approved by the insurer or the injured employee's treating physician or chiropractor, an injured employee who chooses to obtain health care services at a more distant place although adequate health care is available at a closer place may be reimbursed under NAC 616C.150 only for mileage to the closer place.2. If an injured employee moves outside this State or to a new location within this State for his or her own convenience after becoming an injured employee, the maximum mileage for one direction for which he or she may be reimbursed is the mileage allowable before the move or 40 miles, whichever is greater.3. No reimbursement will be allowed for a person traveling with an injured employee unless there is a health care necessity that precludes the injured employee from traveling alone. The health care necessity must be substantiated in writing by the injured employee's treating physician or chiropractor.Nev. Admin. Code § 616C.156
