Dismissed
The appeal for the contractual payment rate of non-VA home health services provided by Mennonite General Hospital from January 4, 2020, to January 30, 2020, was dismissed due to a defect in the filing process.
The deciding factor: The appeal did not adhere to the claims processing rules that govern VCA payment disputes and thus must be dismissed.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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.
