The appeal for entitlement to the payment of the cost of non-VA medical services provided by HFHS on November 30, 2020, was dismissed due to statutory and contractual authority that does not allow for review by the Board.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed because the process for billing and payment of medical services through the Veterans Community Care Program is governed by statutory and contractual agreements that do not contemplate 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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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.
