The Board has denied the Veteran's claim for payment or reimbursement of medical expenses incurred at Lakeland Regional Medical Center on November 9 and 10, 2006.
The deciding factor: The appeal is based on a denial of benefits under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1725, which pertains to the payment or reimbursement of medical expenses incurred in connection with care provided by a non-VA facility. The Board found that VCAA notice was not provided.
