Granted
The Veteran's unauthorized ambulance transportation service from MMR on December 10, 2017 is granted as payment or reimbursement is warranted due to the Veteran's Medicare Part A coverage fully extinguishing his underlying inpatient hospital costs.
The deciding factor: Payment was authorized under 38 U.S.C. § 1725 for emergency treatment provided at a non-VA facility, and all regulatory provisions were met.
