Please note: If you enter a reimbursement request for mileage (Medical FSA) you will be prompted to enter the number of miles and will need to upload substantiation of the miles (Google Maps or MapQuest image showing miles) as well as substantiation of the service provided at that location. You will not be prompted separately for this information.
