Chapter 10. Virginia Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Program Regulations

14VAC10-10-80. Transportation; vans.

A. The Virginia Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Program (Program) will fund the purchase of a van when it becomes medically necessary for wheelchair transportation. Van options for admitted claimants are available from the Program. The Program will have the primary lien on the van's certificate of title, although the van itself will be titled in the name of the admitted claimant's parents or legal guardians. The Program will pay the personal property taxes on and sales taxes resulting from the initial purchase of the medically necessary van and also will pay an amount equal to the uninsured motorist fee, or the insurance premium for the van, whichever is less. Other operating costs, such as city or county decals and tags, maintenance, repairs, and tires will be the responsibility of the parents or guardians. Mileage and other transportation costs will be reimbursed as set out under 14VAC10-10-150. The Program will reimburse the admitted claimant's family for the cost of insuring the lift and tie downs if an additional cost is incurred for this and a receipt is provided.

B. Vans will be replaced at approximately 100,000 miles. Documentation of the vehicle's service history and condition will be considered in determining the timing of van replacement.

C. In the event a van provided by the Program is no longer necessary for transportation of the admitted claimant, the van must be returned, and the title must be transferred to the Program within three months. The family may purchase the van if an agreeable purchase price is agreed upon with the Executive Director of the Program.

D. All vans returned to the Program should be in good working order and be able to pass a Virginia state inspection. If the van is not in good working order or cannot pass a Virginia state inspection, the admitted claimant's parent or legal guardian must have the defects repaired at his own cost if the expense is not covered by insurance prior to returning the vehicle to the Program.
