The Veteran's claims for reimbursement of unauthorized medical services provided by Dr. A.W. on March 25, 2008 and March 29, 2008 were denied as the criteria for payment or reimbursement under Chapter 17 (Veterans' Millennium Healthcare and Benefits Act) were not met.
The deciding factor: The medical services provided by Dr. A.W. on both dates did not meet the criteria of being emergency care in a hospital setting, nor was there evidence that delay would have been hazardous to life or health.
