Granted
The appeal for payment or reimbursement of non-VA COVID-19 testing services provided to the Veteran on December 16, 2020, was granted based on VA policy.
The deciding factor: Payment is warranted as the testing occurred prior to January 1, 2021, when VA had a temporary policy to reimburse all such claims without prior authorization.
