Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for payment or reimbursement of a non-VA prescription medication from August 11, 2023, as it was not related to an emergency medical visit.
The deciding factor: The treatment was not for a service-connected disability and did not meet the criteria under 38 U.S.C. § 1725 or 1728.
