Dismissed
The appeal for payment or reimbursement of non-VA medical services provided by the appellant to the Veteran under a Veterans Care Agreement is dismissed due to the specific administrative dispute resolution process that does not allow for appellate review by the Board.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the exclusive administrative dispute resolution authority granted to the Veteran's Health Administration (VHA) under 38 U.S.C. § 1703A(h).

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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.
