Granted

The Veteran's unauthorized medical expenses at the Ocala Regional Medical Center from May 24, 2011 to May 27, 2011 are eligible for reimbursement in the amount of $1,132.

The deciding factor: VA determined that the Veteran was enrolled in the VA healthcare system and had received care within the past 24 months. The emergency services were provided at a hospital emergency department, and no feasible VA facilities were available beforehand which would have been considered reasonable by a prudent layperson.
