The claim regarding payment for Community Care dental services furnished to the Veteran by the appellant on November 8, 2019, was dismissed as it is governed by statutory and contractual authority that creates a dispute process without review by the Board of Veterans' Appeals.
The deciding factor: The applicable statute and regulation governing VCA disputes does not contemplate Board review of a question on the proper contractual payment for services provided to a veteran under a VCA.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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