We checked the caregiver travel and mileage note against DOL home-care travel guidance, CMS EVV guidance, and related caregiver travel guidance. The template is ready to use as a note format for agencies that need travel facts tied to payroll review without claiming to decide pay, mileage reimbursement, EVV, or clinical records.
2 claims
The note is for travel review before payroll, not for deciding every pay or reimbursement question
Template final paragraph
The final paragraph explicitly says the note does not decide whether travel time is paid or mileage is reimbursed.
The note does not replace EVV, payer billing, clinical documentation, or patient records
Template final paragraph
CMS frames EVV around visit-verification data. The note is limited to time-tracking review.
2 claims
Between-visit travel and office returns are the right facts to capture
Template paragraph 2
DOL home-care guidance distinguishes ordinary commuting from workday travel, including travel between client homes. The template captures facts without turning them into legal conclusions.
The checklist should require state-rule and workflow adaptation
Template checklist
Mileage reimbursement rules vary. The checklist correctly tells agencies to confirm rules and match fields to their workflow.
