Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for payment of medical expenses incurred at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Flower Mound on November 20, 2019, as he did not receive VA health care within the 24-month period preceding the emergency treatment.
The deciding factor: The denial was based on the lack of prior authorization and the Veteran's failure to meet the eligibility requirements for reimbursement under 38 U.S.C. § 1725.
