Denied
The Board denied the claim for payment or reimbursement of medical expenses provided on February 13 to February 15, 2005, at Providence Holy Cross Medical Center due to untimeliness.
The deciding factor: The claim was not timely received as it was submitted more than 90 days after the Veteran's discharge from the facility that furnished the emergency treatment.
