Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for payment or reimbursement of non-VA medical expenses incurred on May 10, 1994 and June 28, 1994 due to a lack of prior authorization from VA.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that VA provided prior authorization for the surgeries, and there was no indication that VA was contacted for authorization prior to or during the two-surgery period.
