Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for payment or reimbursement of non-VA medical services incurred on January 28, 2023, February 7, 2023, and February 28, 2023, due to lack of treatment in the VA healthcare system within the preceding 24 months.
The deciding factor: The criteria for payment or reimbursement under 38 U.S.C. § 1725 were not met as the Veteran had not been treated in the VA system within the 24-month period preceding the non-VA emergency room treatments.
