New Medical Mileage Rate for the 2022 Benefits Period
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recently released a new medical mileage rate for the last half of 2022. For the 2022 benefit period, the mileage rate is 18 cents per mile through June 30, 2022.

Mileage to and from a medical service is an eligible expense under a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA). Simply use the Mileage Worksheet to log miles to and from your doctor, dentist, pharmacy, or other medical care provider. When you are ready to submit a claim, sign the bottom of the Mileage Worksheet to certify the expense, and submit the worksheet along with your completed Health Care FSA claim form.
