Dismissed

The appeal for payment or reimbursement of non-VA medical services was dismissed as the billing company that did not furnish the underlying services in question is not a proper claimant.

The deciding factor: The Board found that Benefit Recovery, which did not provide the underlying medical services, cannot file a VA Form 10182 and initiate appellate review.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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