Getting paid back
Reimbursement is payment to compensate someone for money they've already spent: The company offers reimbursement for travel expenses.
Insurance reimbursement covers medical costs after the patient has paid.
The word implies restoration—you're made whole for an outlay, not paid for work or given a gift.
