I used taxis to go to the hospital every day. Can I receive reimbursement for these costs as Transportation Expenses?
You can receive Transportation Expenses only when Health Insurance Society determines that illness or injury prevented you from getting to a hospital or a clinic on your own and that such transportation need was urgent and therefore unavoidable. Taxi fares you paid to travel to a hospital every day thus do not qualify as Transportation Expenses.
