The Veteran underwent emergency hemiarthroplasty surgery on his right femoral neck at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, Idaho. The claim for payment was denied due to untimely submission of the claim. The case is now remanded to determine if the remaining criteria have been met.
The deciding factor: The claim for payment was denied because it was not submitted within the required 90-day period after the medical treatment.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
What you can do next
Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
