Mileage?

If you are seeing home hospice patients, then yes. Mileage refers to how much you are reimbursed per mile. The figure goes up and down with gas prices, typically quarterly. If you are working for an inpatient hospice, then you probably won't get mileage reimbursement unless you are a liason or admissions nurse. I think mileage is probably reimbursed at about 45 to 70 cents/mile depending on state/company choice and mileage to/from your home to office is not typically covered unless you are working on-call.

Ours is $0.21. Seems really low

.21 is low. We get .44 and even that is low, from what I'm told.

New Standard Mileage Rates Now Available; Business Rate to Rise in 2015

Beginning on Jan. 1, 2015, the standard mileage rates for the use of a car, van, pickup or panel truck will be:

• 57.5 cents per mile for business miles driven, up from 56 cents in 2014
  
• 23 cents per mile driven for medical or moving purposes, down half a cent from 2014
  
• 14 cents per mile driven in service of charitable organizations
  

If your employer doesn't provide the maximum amount for business travel you may claim that difference on your taxes.

Ours is $0.21. Seems really low

...that's awful.

I get travel time and mileage. I don't know the exact figures, let me check.

I think we are at 50 cents/ mile now

Unless you work an inpatient hospice unit, then yes, you would go to the patient's home or where they are living (such as an LTC facility).

I really do not pay much attention to mileage since my hospice company likes to put us in areas close to home. And travelling is one thing I do not really care much about anyway. But they do pay us $p 0.50 to 0.57 a mile.
