The appeal for reimbursement of medical services provided by University of Cincinnati Physicians Company, LLC on August 29, 2019, October 14, 2019, and October 31, 2019, was dismissed as the billing process is governed by statutory and contractual authority that does not allow for review by the Board.
The deciding factor: The appeal must be dismissed because the governing statute and implementing regulations have established a process for billing medical services furnished through the Veterans Community Care Program that does 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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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.
