The Veteran's appeal for payment of or reimbursement for unauthorized medical treatment provided by Southern Oregon Cardiology during the period April 17-19, 2014 is denied. The AOJ must obtain and associate with the record any billing documents from Southern Oregon Cardiology showing the claimed charges.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's appeal was originally based on a determination that he was stable for transfer to VA facilities by April 17, 2014. However, there is no supporting clinical rationale in the file. On remand, the AOJ should obtain and consider any billing documents from Southern Oregon Cardiology.
