The Board granted the claim for payment or reimbursement of unauthorized ambulance transportation services provided by Greater Valley EMS on November 30, 2020.
The deciding factor: The circumstances surrounding the Veteran's need for emergency transportation were such that a prudent layperson would reasonably expect that delay in seeking medical attention would be hazardous to life or health, and the nearest VA hospital was not available.
