Medical Payments Coverage Applies to Travel Expenses?

Our insured turned in an auto accident claim recently and asked about medical payments coverage. She was injured in the accident, and she has had to spend some money as travel expenses to her doctor for treatment. She wondered if this is considered an expense that is included under medical payments coverage. The wording on the auto policy is the same as that on the standard personal auto policy (PAP). We are of the opinion that there is coverage for these expenses. What is your opinion?
