D.C. 20549 FILE: B-220822 DATE: June 26, 1986 MATTER OF: Nancy Wittpenn DIGEST: An individual not employed by the Govern- ment, but invited to participate in an exercise with the Naval Ocean Research and Development Activity, Department of the Navy, claimed the cost of a required physical examination on her claim for travel expenses. The cost of a physical examination necessary to participate in an exercise may not be paid as a travel expense; however, as in the case of an employee, when a physical examination is undergone for the benefit of the Govern- ment, the cost of the examination may be reimbursed to the invitee. This action is in response to a request from the Department of the Navy for an advance decision regarding reimbursement for the cost of a physical examination to an individual not an employee of the Government.l/ We find that the individual may be reimbursed for such costs when the physical examination is found to be for the benefit of the Government. The Navy asks whether Ms. Nancy Wittpenn, an individual associated with the University of Miami, may be reimbursed for a physical examination she underwent in connection with her participation in an exercise with tlie Naval Ocean Research and Development Activity, Department of the Navy. Since Ms. Wittpenn is not an employee oF the Government, she was issued invitational travel orders ani was reimbursed for all travel expenses to and from Montevidleo, Uruguay, where the exercise, Leg II of the South Atlantic Geocorridor Cruise, began and ended. l/ The request was made by L. G. Cogsdil, Disbursing Offi- cer, Naval Oceanographic Office, Department of the Navy, Bay St. Louis, NSTL, Mississippi. o~sc~S
