Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to the AOJ for consideration of the Veteran's claim under 38 U.S.C. § 1725 for non-VA emergency treatment.
The deciding factor: The AOJ did not consider the Veteran's claim as one for reimbursement of medical expenses for emergency treatment under 38 U.S.C. § 1725, despite citing § 1728 in its April 2020 decision.
