Granted
The veteran was granted payment or reimbursement for the private medical services he received at Boulder Community Hospital from September 3, 2005, to September 12, 2005, as the treatment provided was for a continued medical emergency and a VA or other federal facility was not feasibly available.
The deciding factor: The veteran's condition required immediate attention, and a VA or other federal facility was not feasibly available at the time of his treatment.
