Health Related Transportation. (i) Health transportation shall be provided to Employees, spouses or their dependents to/from the closest location where the required medical/health services are available, except where the Employee requires medical treatment and has a close professional relationship with the physician/practitioner who would provide the service.

This compensation shall be reduced by an amount equal to any other compensation received for the same travel incident. (ii) The number of Employer paid trips per calendar year for health related reasons is limited to four (4) except where a bona fide emergency exists. (iii) Transportation shall be paid for any person, other than the person who obtains treatment, (1) if it is necessary for the person who obtains treatment to be escorted during the period of travel; or (2) no suitable arrangements for the care of the dependents can be made at the work place location, and they must therefore accompany the person obtaining treatment.
