   LANGTRY, J.

Claimant was awarded compensation for permanent total disability resulting from a stroke (cerebral vascular accident (CVA)) he suffered on October 29,1968. This appeal concerns State Accident Insurance Fund’s responsibility for certain medical and other related expenses incurred by claimant after that date.

The CYA occurred in Eureka, California while claimant was there on a business trip for his Oregon employer. He was hospitalized and treated by a Eureka physician. SAIF did not pay the resulting bills.

Claimant lives in the Roseburg area. After the CYA in October 1968 he was examined and treated by a specialist in Portland, Dr. Brodeur. He saw Dr. Brodeur on December 17 and 20, 1968, April 1, 1969, March 10 and 13, 1970 and July 2, 1971. Dr. Brodeur certified his services on these dates were for conditions resulting from claimant’s injury of October 1968. SAIF did not pay these bills either.

On July 6, 1971 claimant began to experience a deadening in his left leg. He was hospitalized and had vascular surgery performed on his left common femoral artery and right common iliac artery. The medical evidence was that this surgery was not for a condition resulting from the CYA of October 1968, rather it was a manifestation of claimant’s underlying vascular disease which he had been afflicted with prior to the CYA. SAIF also did not pay for this surgery.

The hearing officer ordered SAIF to pay the bills resulting from claimant’s October 1968 hospitalization in Eureka, plus a 25 percent penalty and attorney fees. ORS 656.262 (8), 656.382. (1).

The hearing officer also ordered SAIF to pay for Dr. Brodeur’s services through July 2, 1971 and also to pay claimant’s travel expenses to Portland on December 17, 1968, April 1, 1969, March 10, 1970 and July 2, 1971, plus other expenses not relevant here, without any penalty. He found that the expenses incurred as a result of the July 1971 surgery were not compensable.

Claimant here contends that the July 1971 surgery expenses were compensable because they resulted from a preexisting disability that contributed along with the CYA of October 29,1968 to produce claimant’s permanent total disability. See ORS 656.206 (1) (a) and (2).

ORS 656.245 (1) specifically requires that medical expenses must be for “conditions resulting from the injury.” Claimant’s argument confuses the specific “compensation benefits” provided by ORS 656.206 (2) with the general definition of “compensation” contained in ORS 656.002 (7). “Medical expenses” are not contained within the “compensation benefits” provided by ORS 656.206 (2) and ORS 656.245 (1) makes no mention of “preexisting disability.” Therefore, we conclude that medical expenses are not compensable if they are the result of a preexisting disability and not a result of a compensable injury.

In a given case, particularly in the vascular disease area, it may be difficult to determine whether a given condition is a result of an “injury” or is merely a manifestation of a preexisting condition. Nevertheless, under this statute that determination must be made as to each expense incurred.

On the record in this case it appears that the hearing officer erred in not ordering SAIF to pay claimant his travel expenses for the trips he made to Portland on December 20, 1968 and March 13, 1970. Dr. Brodeur certified that the charges relating to these visits were the result of the CVA in question. Claimant testified that on December 20, 1968 he had received the results of the December 17, 1968 examination and had undergone a further examination. On March 13, 1970 claimant received the results of the March 10, 1970 examination and underwent further tests. The medical expenses were ordered paid, the travel expenses should also have been paid. The order below should be modified to so provide.

Claimant also assigns error to the hearing officer’s failure to assess a penalty and attorney fees in addition to ordering SAIF to pay certain of the medical expenses. He also seeks additional attorney fees for his efforts both here and below. The hearing officer stated:

“* * * The Fund’s responses as to the claims * * * [were] not so unreasonable as to justify a penalty as to those items.”

Griven that SAIF could have had reasonable doubts as to whether the services in question were for a condition resulting from the injury, ORS 656.245 (1), the failure to pay prior to the explicit order of the hearing officer is not ground for awarding a penalty and attorney fees. Reed v. Del Chem. Corp., 16 Or App 366, 518 P2d 679 (1974).

This reasoning would also apply to the additional travel expenses that we have determined claimant is entitled to receive.

Despite the fact that claimant has been awarded additional compensation by this court he is not efttitled to an award of attorney fees here or below. Giese v. Safeway Stores, 10 Or App 452, 461, 499 P2d 1364, 501 P2d 982, Sup Ct review denied (1973).
