1 01/19/2011 Travel & Expense Policy STATEMENT OF PURPOSE This policy establishes guidelines governing the reimbursement of travel and entertainment expenses incurred during the conduct of BioScrip business. BioScrip will reimburse an employee ordinary, necessary and reasonable travel expenses when directly connected with, or pertaining to the transaction of Company business. This policy also covers other expenses that may not be associated with travel. The following policies and guidelines are intended to assure maximum cost control for BioScrip while maintaining a high level of quality and consistency in services and accommodations for our travelers. This document serves as the standard travel policy and guideline. Employees are expected to exercise prudent judgment regarding travel and entertainment expenses covered by these guidelines. Employees submitting expenses that are not in compliance with this policy risk delayed, partial, or forfeited reimbursement. Cases of significant abuse will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination. As stated in the BioScrip, Inc. Employee Handbook, all employees are required to conduct themselves in a lawful, ethical, respectful and safety-conscious manner. This includes, but is not limited to drug and alcohol abuse, immoral conduct and fraudulent behavior. RESPONSIBILITY AND ENFORCEMENT BioScrip Employees who incur travel and entertainment expenses are responsible for complying with this policy. The expense reports should be submitted for reimbursement once a month by the 20 th of each month. BioScrip will reimburse employees for authorized approved business travel and entertainment The use of our contracted travel agency is of paramount importance. Only with your cooperation will we maintain the integrity and optimal pricing of our programs. The employee s signature certifies that all expenditures listed on the expense report are clearly and correctly described, actual amounts in all instances are shown, and expenses are supported by receipts in accordance with this policy. Travel Approval Preapproved travel is required for Vice President level and below. The Travel Request Form must be approved in advance of travel by your manager. BioScrip will not reimburse for any travel and entertainment expenses that has not been preapproved. This form can be found on the Intranet under Forms. The approved Travel Request From must be attached to the expense report. RECEIPTS / DOCUMENTATION OF EXPENSE Documentation of expenses is required for reimbursement for Company and IRS purposes. It is mandatory that all travelers support all expenses, regardless of the amount, with a
2 credit card receipt and receipt from the establishment, i.e., hotel folio showing detail, restaurant bill showing what was ordered. The exception to receipts will be for minimal tips and fees where credit cards cannot be used, i.e., toll fees, doorman or bellman tips. - All air travel receipts, invoices/itineraries from Blue Ribbon Travel, and boarding passes must be submitted with the related expense report. TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS All travel arrangements (airline, lodging, rental car, etc.) must be arranged through BioScrip s contracted travel agency. Cost effectiveness and negotiated discounts, resulting in savings to the Company, can be monitored only if the authorized Company travel agency handles all business travel. Air Travel Each business trip by air travel must be at a distance of more than 150 miles from the employee s principal place of business. The employee s principal place of business is defined as the location that the employee performs the majority of their business activity. Business trips that are less than 150 miles are subject to reimbursement under the personal motor vehicle section of this policy. a. All domestic business air travel will be by coach/tourist/economy class. Upgrades are allowed at the traveler's personal expense. b. When feasible, all airline reservations should be made at least 14 days in advance. Reservations made less than 14 days in advance require a Vice President s approval prior to ticketing. c. When making airline reservations, employees are required to accept flights that utilize Lowest Logical Fare Routing. This includes alternate airlines such as Southwest, Frontier, etc. Employees may be required to take a connecting flight, a direct flight or go to an alternate airport if the savings to the Company or customer is greater than $300.00, and the routing does not increase the one-way total elapsed trip time by more than two hours. Employees are not obligated to accept travel arrangements which involve return trips arriving at the airport after 10:00 p.m. If lost savings to the Company or customer is greater than $300, VP approval is required prior to ticketing. d. Ticketless Travel/e-Tickets - Employees must retain receipts/itineraries provided by the Company s designated travel agency and attach them to the expense report. Airfare cannot be expensed until the trip has been taken. If employee s credit card statement is due before trip has been expensed, a cash advance can be obtained from accounting with appropriate documentation of the expense and VP approval. Such cash advance must then be noted on expense report after the trip has occurred and deducted from the final amount to be reimbursed. e. The Company will reimburse for nonrefundable tickets canceled due to changes in business plans. Nonrefundable tickets can be used toward the purchase of another ticket for a service fee. Tickets are typically valid for exchange for a minimum of one year. The 2
3 travel agency tracks all unused tickets and will apply them to future tickets when appropriate. f. Personal Frequent Flyer program benefits must in no way influence flight selection. Although frequent flyer miles are earned from Company-paid travel, the Company allows employees to use the miles earned through such programs for their own personal use. Misuse and abuse of earning frequent flyer miles at additional Company expense will not be tolerated. Such misuse and abuse is subject to disciplinary action including, but not limited to, reimbursement by the employee of the difference between the lowest airfare and the actual price of the airline ticket. g. Airline Clubs The Company will not reimburse employees for Airline Clubs. Motor Vehicle Travel a. Parking: Parking at the airport or while visiting customers will be reimbursed to a reasonable level. Employees should use off-site parking. Keep in mind that the cost of a taxi may be less expensive than airport parking for an extended trip. b. Public Transport (Bus/Shuttle/Taxi) The cost of public transportation to and from places of business, hotels, or airports in connection with business activities is reimbursable. Actual cost of transportation used plus tips not exceeding 15% of total bill will be reimbursed. c. Rental Car i) Employees should rent cars only when other means of transportation are unavailable, more costly or impractical. The use of a rental car must be justified as a business need and not as a matter of personal convenience. ii) Decline additional insurance, the Company s coverage applies to all travelers. iii) All rental cars should be mid-size or smaller, unless a larger car is needed due to entertaining a client or traveling with more than three (3) employees. Any charges incurred for renting a larger vehicle are the sole responsibility of the employee. iv) Every reasonable effort must be made to return the rental car to the original rental location (unless approved for a one-way rental). Cars must be returned on time to avoid additional hourly charges (late fees begin to accrue after a one-hour grace period). v) Employees are expected to refuel rental cars prior to returning them to the vendor. vi) Gas purchased for the rented vehicle at a service or gasoline station is a reimbursable expense. vii) Any employee traveling on behalf of the Company (in a leased vehicle, rented vehicle, or in their personal car) involved in a car accident, should immediately contact their manager and the General Counsel s office for information regarding the procedures to follow. viii) All employees are responsible for obeying all federal, state, and local governmental laws, including motor vehicle laws. The Company will not 3
4 reimburse employees for penalties involving moving, traffic, parking or other motor vehicle violations while performing Company business. d. Personal Vehicle: The Company will reimburse employees for incidental use of their personal vehicle for trips to/from the airport and local meetings at the rate per mile allowed by the IRS (minus standard commute miles) only if the mileage is in excess of employees normal commute to/from the office. The most current mileage reimbursement rate is located on the expense report form. Employees who work at home or regularly use their personal vehicle for business will be reimbursed per the following IRS guidelines: IF You have an office at a local Company facility that you use on a regular basis. You DO NOT have an office at a local Company facility, or you have one but do not use it on a regular basis, or if you have a qualifying home office.

Sedan/Limousine Services: This service should only be used when taxi service is not available or the limo service costs less than a taxi. Lodging a. All hotels must be booked through the designated travel agency, NOT directly through the hotel, so we can track our hotel spend and number of nights stayed in order to negotiate better corporate rates. Employees are expected to use mid level hotels or motels, such as a Marriott Courtyard, Hampton Inn, or similar property. Preferred properties are listed on Reardon. Stays at full service hotels will not be reimbursed. b. Employees are responsible for canceling hotel rooms and must do so through the designated travel agency. Employees will be held responsible for requesting and recording the cancellation number and will not be reimbursed for no-show charges. c.

9 CORPORATE CARD PROGRAM Corporate Card The Company has a corporate card program for our frequent travelers. This program minimizes the employee s personal outflow of cash and generates management reports for budgeting purposes. 1) The Company provides a Corporate Card to employees who travel at least monthly or as a supervisor may deem necessary. 2) Employees will be billed directly by American Express for all expenses and they are responsible to pay their bill on time. The Company issues reimbursements promptly to employees so they can pay these charges, assuming the employee has submitted their Expense Reports in a timely manner. 3) The Company issued Corporate Card is to be used for Company business only and should not be used for personal expenses. All charges are frequently monitored. If nonbusiness charges appear, it will be brought to the attention of the CFO and Senior Vice President of Human Resources. 4) When business and personal expenses are incurred at the same time and/or location, the employee should pay for their personal expenses separately. 6) Any misuse of the Corporate Card will result in the immediate suspension or cancellation of the Card and could result in further disciplinary action against the employee, up to and including termination. 7) Upon an employee s termination of employment, the Corporate Card will be immediately terminated; however, the employee is still responsible for any and all amounts due on their account. The employee must surrender their Corporate Card immediately to their supervisor. 9
10 Expense Report Procedure General Information 1) Prepare monthly or per trip expenses no later than 3 days after the week or end of trip 2) All employees submitting, approving or processing these reports are to do so in a timely manner to avoid any delay in reimbursing the employee. 3) The IRS requires that all expenses be substantiated by receipts or they are disallowed. Only those expenses where receipts are normally unobtainable are exempt from this requirement. Lack of receipts must be explained in detail on the expense report. 4) All reports not properly completed, supported by receipts, or other documentation will be returned to the employee. If the expense report is not completed accurately or documentation is missing, reimbursement will be reduced by the questionable amount and returned to the employee for re-submission. 5) Falsification of expense reports, receipts and/or supporting documentation will not be tolerated, and is subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. Completing the Expense Report 1) Obtain most recent Expense Report form found on the Intranet (left hand side, Forms, Expense Report), Save and rename form for your file, begin filling out the fields. 2) PURPOSE OF TRIP: Describe where traveled and for what purpose (customer visit, site visit, presentation, etc.), 3) Fill in Employee Name. 4) Choose Employee s DEPARTMENT/LOCATION from drop down list 5) DATE: Dates of travel or date(s) expense incurred (week ending on Friday). 6) MILEAGE: Includes the mileage for use of the employee s personal vehicle while on Company business.
