The Board remands the claim for payment or reimbursement of non-VA emergency medical services provided to the Veteran on November 15, 2019, due to the need for additional evidence.
The deciding factor: Further development is required to obtain and review non-VA treatment records for the episode of care on appeal to determine if the requirements of 38 U.S.C. § 1728 are met.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
