The appeal concerning entitlement to payment of the cost of non-VA medical expenses incurred on September 16, 2019 through September 17, 2019 was dismissed as it has been administratively approved.
The deciding factor: The administrative action approving entitlement to payment for the entire episode of care constituted a reversal of the previous denial and a full grant of the benefit sought in this appeal.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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.
