The Veteran's claim for payment or reimbursement of ambulance services incurred on July 10, 2015 is granted. The Board found that the criteria for payment under 38 U.S.C. § 1725 were met and thus authorized payment.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that all conditions for payment under 38 U.S.C. § 1725 were satisfied, including the need for emergency treatment at a non-VA facility, financial liability to the provider of ambulance services, lack of coverage under health-plan contracts, and no eligibility for reimbursement under 38 U.S.C. § 1728.
