The Board has remanded the case due to a lack of information regarding whether the continued inpatient treatment at CRMC from May 22, 2012 to May 25, 2012 was considered 'emergency treatment' or reimbursable 'continued non-emergency treatment,' and if transfer to a VA facility was feasible.
The deciding factor: The Board needs additional information regarding the nature of the inpatient treatment at CRMC from May 22, 2012 to May 25, 2012 and whether it qualifies for reimbursement under VA regulations.

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.
