The Veteran's appeal is being remanded to obtain evidence regarding a bill written off by the Lake Regional Health System for an emergency visit on February 23, 2017. The issue of reimbursement will be reconsidered after this information is obtained.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that there is insufficient clarity about whether the issue is moot due to the alleged write-off of the bill and requires further evidence from the Veteran or Lake Regional Health System.

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.
