Dismissed
The appeal for payment or reimbursement for non-VA medical services provided by Mennonite General Hospital in January 2020 is dismissed as it is an administrative duplicate of a previous appeal that was already adjudicated.
The deciding factor: The Board found this appeal to be moot because the basis of the original denial has been overturned, and there is no remaining case or controversy on 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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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.
