Dismissed
The appeal regarding the payment rate for dental services provided by a non-VA provider under a Veterans Care Agreement was dismissed as it is governed by statutory and contractual authority that creates a dispute process without review by the Board of Veterans' Appeals.
The deciding factor: The applicable statute and regulation governing VCA disputes does not contemplate Board review of a question on the proper contractual payment rate for services provided to a veteran under a VCA.
