What’s reimbursable

The practice reimburses reasonable, pre-approved expenses you incur doing your job. Common examples:
  • Mileage for work travel other than your normal commute, at the current IRS rate
  • Parking for work travel
  • Supplies you were asked to buy for the office
  • Approved professional memberships or CE, within the stipend rules on Continuing education stipend

Get approval first

Anything over 50needsapprovalfromthepracticemanagerbeforeyouspendit.Anythingover50 needs approval from the practice manager before you spend it. Anything over 250 needs Helen’s approval. If you spend without approval, we’ll consider it, but we can’t promise reimbursement.

How to submit

Submit expenses within 30 days with an itemized receipt (not just a card statement) and a one-line note on what it was for. The practice manager will tell you the current submission method. Approved expenses are reimbursed on the next regular payroll run.

Not reimbursable

  • Your regular commute
  • Meals, unless traveling overnight for approved work
  • Personal items, even if used partly for work
  • Fines, tickets, or late fees
  • Anything that wasn’t approved and isn’t obviously a practice expense

Equipment

If you’re using your own equipment for practice work and the practice has agreed to fund it, that’s a practice expense with a receipt, not a gift. Get it in writing before buying.
