Granted
The Veteran was granted reimbursement for medical expenses incurred at Saint Charles Medical Center in Redmond and Bend, Oregon from February 11, 2007 to February 13, 2007, and for the ambulance provided by City of Redmond Ambulance.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's condition was emergent, and no VA or other government facility was feasibly available at the time of treatment. The transfer was necessary to provide optimal care.
