The Board granted payment or reimbursement for medical services and ambulance transportation rendered by Amerimed EMS on April 5, 2019, as the treatment was considered a medical emergency and VA facilities were not feasibly available.
The deciding factor: The treatment sought by the Veteran was for any disability with a total disability permanent in nature from his service-connected psychiatric condition, and it was reasonable to believe that delay in seeking immediate medical attention would have been hazardous to the Veteran's life or health.
