The appeal for payment of non-VA medical services provided on June 24, 2019 was dismissed due to the billing company not being a proper claimant.
The deciding factor: Prestige Billing Services, Ltd. is not considered a proper claimant as it did not furnish the underlying non-VA medical services and does not have legal standing to file a Notice of Disagreement on behalf of the veteran.

What this means for you
A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot. It says more about procedure than about whether a claim like this can win.
