Dismissed
The appeal seeking payment or reimbursement for non-VA medical services provided from April 26, 2019 through May 2, 2019 is dismissed because the billing company did not properly file a Notice of Disagreement.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed due to the improper filing of the Notice of Disagreement by Benefit Recovery, which is not considered a proper claimant under VA regulations.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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