Dismissed
The appeal regarding the contractual payment rate for the cost of medical services furnished by Finger Lakes Home Care in June 2020 is dismissed because it is governed by a specific dispute process with no review by the Board of Veterans' Appeals.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the statutory and regulatory framework that governs disputes under Veterans Care Agreements, which does not allow for Board review.

What this means for you
A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot. It says more about procedure than about whether a claim like this can win.
